Crepe Myrtle Morning

Oh how I love morning shadows!  Crepe Myrtle Morning was painted in the Cary Gallery of Artist's 2011 "Paint Out" -- on location, in a few hours, and then framed and ready for judging by that afternoon.  It won Third Place!  I have to admit that I wasn't that happy with it, though, so I worked on it more in my studio (after the "Paint Out" show) and now I like it.
