I had a little road trip for a commission. So I had only like a half hour to paint the bottom painting, before hitting the road. I was pretty stressed out to do something that wasn't complete shit. I got lucky.
The other paintings were outside Merill, and Wisconsin Rapids. It is so much easier being able to have a reasonable horizon line, unlike the steep hills and valleys of the driftless region here.
