Oil study #138 - plein air - follow up

Usually when I register for a class I make sure I practice in between classes. But this time I just played catch up with other things during the week. I thought my painting couldn't be worse than the first one. Well it was and it is a no show :( Looking back, I think my problem was that I lost so much time looking for something to paint that I set up for something (a tree) that was not really inspiring me.
This week is off (for the spring break) so I decided to go back and paint the palm trees again. It went much better. I was relaxed and had no expectations. This was my first time ever on my own and surprisingly I wasn't scared of people approaching to check the painting. I didn't care because I'm trying and learning, and it will only get better.

Here's the result. I'm much happier with this one...

Oil on canvas, 6 x 8"
