Plein air painting today

Adding the reflections in the water

Today I plein air painted in Majestic View Park in Arvada, Colorado. It was a beautiful day to be out, I saw eight white pelicans circling in the water while I was there...maybe they will be the subject of an upcoming painting:)
I find painting outdoors in Colorado can be challenging because of the dry air. Next time, I may try using an acrylic paint created by Golden called "Open" designed for those who like acrylic and want to paint plein air. It is suppose to have a longer "open" time or dry time.
