"Fern Shadow," waxed transparent watercolor by Kurt Plinke
140 lb Arches CP, mounted on board

At Plein Air Easton! this weekend, my entry in the Quick Draw competition was this little painting of a fern hanging in front of a shop across from the Tidewater Inn.  This painting took a little over an hour and a half of the two hours allowed in the competition.

I was looking at shadows and diagonal lines as I painted this, although I would up looking at a plain brick wall by the time I had finished the piece. Before I began, I sketched what I wanted to see, based upon the conditions at 10:00 am.

I think this is my best Quick Draw entry so far, and I've entered a few. I usually am too ambitious, and wind up with a less-than-satisfactory piece. However, I'm happy with this painting.
