During the summertime, I sometimes join a group of plein air artists and we go to various locales around the area. This day we were invited to the Sewell farm, a beautiful estate in Ottawa's west end. For some reason, I decided to take my dog, Poppy, along. Now, this is a bit of a no-no; some dogs are disruptive, I didn't have the owners prior permission. All in all, not a good idea. But I know my dog and she turned out to be a star. Mostly she just lay in the shade keeping her watchful eye on me. Occasionally, she went for a dip in a small pond nearby. She said hello to a few other artists but, as far as I could tell, behaved herself.

Description
A pastoral scene featuring a vibrant green field with patches of yellow, suggesting sunlight casting its glow on the landscape. In the middle ground, a cluster of trees with broad, expressive strokes in shades of green and blue adds depth. Behind the trees, there is what seems to be a rustic, dark-roofed building partially obscured. The sky above is painted in softer, muted tones of white and grey, giving the impression of an overcast or early morning atmosphere. The brushwork is dynamic and textured, contributing to a sense of movement and the natural flow of the landscape.
