I went to Upton Country Park this morning with the Poole and East Dorset Art Society for our first plain air session this year. It was windy and overcast but I managed a quick painting of the salt marsh before walking back to the more formal gardens to paint a family picnicking on the grass by Upton House. Unfortunately it started to rain before I finished and the family packed up and went home. I did the same but before I got home the sun came out again so perhaps I should have stayed and painted some more.
