You would think that after driving for hours that the last thing I would want to do is paint. But after a summer of painting, I've always got my eye out for a new scene, a new vista, new subject matter. This is a scene in Lenox, Massachusetts. I liked the dome on the town hall and the ever present civil war monument.
My car is packed to the gunnels, but I placed my easel, board and paper on top of suitcases and other stuff for easy access just in case. I also carry my sketchbook with me everywhere.
If the purpose of travel is to experience new sights and sounds, painting is a perfect way to express the feelings about the things that appeal to you. Keep those brushes handy!
