It was a perfect afternoon yesterday so Jac, Alex and I went to Dryslwyn Castle. I had intended to do a painting of the valley looking East towards Llandeilo, however I changed my mind when I saw cattle drinking from the Towy and did a scene looking West towards Llanarthne.
There was a bit of a breeze but I was fairly sheltered but still had to hold the easel occasionally.
Everything was pretty straightforward. I painted in a few guidelines and got to it, putting in the sky and moving downwards then adding detail.
It is tempting when you get back to the studio to work on plein air paintings. I know people have different views on this. I have so far resisted the temptation to change anything other than remove the odd fly or sand.
