I returned to this location along Highway 61 a second time this season. It is a 7-10 minute walk from the Battle Creek Park parking lot near Lower Afton Road and 61. The view is view of Saint Paul over Indian Ponds Park. The pressure of the passing season is closing in as I work to fulfill my "Going Nowhere" painting goals. I got smart for this big canvas and dropped my gear off on the side of the road, parked, and hiked to the site. This painting was started outdoors on September 16, 2018, but ended in the studio. The fall turned rainy and cold. The wind bested my tenacity on one chilly day when I set out diligently to paint. After struggling to get set up, I immediately took down because the wind blew my easel down again and again. Uncle! Coffee break. I stopped waiting for good weather and finished in the studio. It took 65 hours for this painting.
