Prescott Park, Plein Air

Went plein air painting to the fountains in Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH a couple of weekends ago. I was painting happily for about 40 minutes when a birthday party took over the area around the fountains. They weren't entitled to the exclusive use of the area but there were about a hundred people in the party, at least there seemed to be a hundred people.

I struggled on for a few minutes before the choas just drove me away. I had tried to rough in the scene before leaving. Now a few weeks later, I finished up the painting relying on my fragile memory. The painting is an 8 by 10 inch acrylic, on stretched canvas.
