Anything can happen when you're out plein air painting!
I attended Liz Wiltzen's plein air workshop a few weeks ago. Some of the painting was done just a few minutes walk from her studio on Canmore. Not everyone can walk out the door and have a full view of the Three Sisters. We painted one of the 3 in the morning and then relocated further up the hill to paint the sun coming through the Aspens. We were spread out on either side of a narrow path when we realized that about 5 or 6 horses were headed our way. I mean, we were right next to the path - but hats' off to the riders who negotiated their way through the easels with tremendous confidence. I ride when I can and know that some horses would simply freak. I was impressed to say the least. Liz is in the red jacket. To the right is my set up.
I know it looks good, but the weather didn't last. Much of the time was spent indoors but Liz had us working hard and learning a lot.
