Montra is located about 2 miles from where I live and is a very little town located on 3 hills in the middle of the western Ohio flatlands - thus the name - Montra - after the French word for mountain. These are hardly mountains, but Montra does stand a little higher than the rest of the landscape.
This painting is painted on an 8"x10" canvas panel and was painted en plein air in about 3 1/2 hours. One of those hours was here at home last night just pulling things together. The wind was blowing pretty strongly yesterday and my canvas did a lot of bouncing and moving around. It was a lovely, spiritual afternoon.

I am astounded by what you can do so quickly in plein air. You have captured so well sthe light, the colors and the atmosphere.

This is just simply beautiful, Barbara. Not sure how I missed this post on my rounds yesterday. So glad to hear that your friend came through her surgery well. I know there is power in prayer.
