Looking this way and that

I was recently inspired by an artist who spends hours working plein aire and just absorbs the "soup" of the day. the colors... the atmosphere... the wind.... and I thought how important this is.

I love painting from life and often have that opportunity when the weather is good. Today I hope to do that but for now... here's a studio piece.

I want it to be about the design elements and shapes....

Thoughts?
