Fred Bell and I, Judith Reidy Start Paintings at McCarthy Park

 Yesterday it was our first really warm day for 2012.  So as our tradition goes, Fred and I always find a place to paint.  This year it was the north end of McCarty park in West Allis.  We both had a great start on our respective paintings and had a lot of laughs.

This painting, I started and completed this past Saturday morning at the Milwaukee Sketch Club Plein Air Paint Out at Calhoun Park in New Berlin, Wisconsin. It was a beautiful morning to be out painting, while the New Berlin Little League championship games were in full swing. I painted while listening to the crack of the bat to the teams laughter and cheers. I had found a secluded place in the shade looking west with only occasional curious onlookers. It was a terrific morning!
