Plein Air Oil Painting

I drove to Newport Park, near Williamstown, this afternoon. 

This gigantic cranes have always fascinated me, but I haven’t had an opportunity to paint. 

Although it was windy and chilly, I decided to have a go at this scene. 

I’m not particularly happy with this one. It was very difficult to paint due to strong winds. 

I think I need to come back and try it again. 

I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in. 

Then, I had a long walk along the coastline. That was very refreshing. Followed by fish & chips, of course!
