Plen-air Sketch #1

It's been ages since I've done any plen-air work, so I decided to challenge myself this afternoon. It was mostly overcast until the last few minutes, which made it all the more bitter sweet that I had to go in to work afterwards (I'm on my final two weeks at Whole Foods:). Anyway, I'm going to try and get out and do this as much as possible so here is sketch #1; painted at the Oakland Rose Garden today 6/16/08.
