Joseph in the Junk Pile

As part of its "Paint the Town" program, the Artists Guild of Shrewsbury goes to various locations for plein air painting. This week we were at Danielson Florists, and Joseph, with his usual perverse nature, ignores the flowers and greenhouses, and instead focuses on a pile of discarded items left behind the barn. Well, it was a hot day, and this location did let me sit in the shade.

I was able to mostly complete my watercolor preliminary sketch on site, then worked up my studio version the next day.

  1. Ten men went along that road; And all but one passed by. He saw the hill and the tree and the cloud With an artist's mind and eye; And he put them down on paper for the other nine men to buy.
