High Oak Farms (#75 of 100)

"High Oak Farms" - 6x8 - Oil on Acrylic
"Granja Robles Altos" -

Today it was the first day in a long long time  that I went out to paint with a group called the "Alfrescoes". They paint at a different location in Victoria or Greater Victoria every Friday morning, rain or shine.  I used to go but then I got busy with work, always had to work Fridays and couldn't make it so was very happy to come out. The location was High Oak Farm on the corner of Hastings and Granville  about 15 min. from where I live.  What looks like a lake is actually a flooded field which will look completely different in about 2 weeks probably! I am not thrilled with what I did, may  work on it a bit more to try and punch in some lights and simplify some areas but I was happy to go out, paint and see everyone again.  Of course, typical Victoria weather today, changed every 5 minutes,  the colours were changing pretty fast all the time but the rain held off and didn't start until we were leaving. so that was a good thing, considering it was supposed to rain all day! :)

Hoy fue el primer dia en mucho tiempo que fui a pintar con un grupo que se llaman los "Alfrescoes".
Pintan todos los viernes a la manana, en distintos lugares de la ciudad, en cualquier tiempo y todo el ano. Solía ir hace mucho tiempo pero como me tocaba trabajar los viernes, tuve que dejar de ir; por eso  estuve muy contenta de poder participar hoy y empezar a ir  regularmente. Nos juntamos en un lugar llamado Granja Robles Altos en la esquina de Granville y Hastings y queda a unos 15 minutos de donde yo vivo. Lo que parece ser un lago, es en realidad un campo inundado que en unas semanas no mas ya va a estar totalmente distinto! No estoy super satisfecha con lo que hice pero tal vez lo corrija un poco, agregue unas luces y lo simplifique un poco. De todas maneras estoy muy contenta de haber salido a pintar y ver a  la gente de este grupo de nuevo! Tuvimos tiempo típico de Victoria hoy, cambiando a cada rato, los colores tambien cambiaban rápido con el tiempo pero lluvia aguantó y no empezó hasta que nos ibamos. :)
