(Note to self... next time bring a back up of mineral spirits!) No sooner did I get set up, ready to begin, (knowing it was a blustery, crazy-windy morning), then my can of mineral sprints blew right off my table and dumped all over the ground!! I stood looking at it for a moment (after some choice fun words) and I thought..."hmmm... I wonder if I could do the whole painting "dry"- using no spirits." Sadly- (sigh)- I decided it was best to hike back out, get in my car, drive the 5 min home and grab another can. Drive back, hike back in, THEN putting it safely on the ground between some rocks, I began again. Had to hold onto the easel with one hand the whole day! Or -"thar she blows"!!
