Mid Morning Patterns

Plein air painting from this morning. I believe all the important information is here. I plan to make this the subject of a larger work soon.

The patterns of streaming light and deep shadows make the ordinary scene dramatic.  The morning was passing quickly by the time I finally got set up to paint.  I had to work quickly in order to capture the fugitive scene with deep shadows and blazing sunlight.  Often I find the pressure of time in plein air painting brings the best results.
