Charlotte Pavone & I braved the chilly wet weather to spend a couple of hours painting in Old Town Manassas. I am hoping to get some art ready for the Train Festival in June, so I worked on this acrylic painting of the train station, which I had started about a year ago and never got back to. Here’s the results so far. Charlotte remarked that it looked like I was painting it upside down, now I see what she means! Just remember it’s not finished! The best part of the whole day was going over to the Victorian Tea Room afterwards for scones and tea (Monk’s blend, mmm.) Another Paint-Out tomorrow!
