On its way to a new home

fiddlers in Cedarburg Wis.
I painted this during the competition.
Was going really well. At the last minute I made a wrong change that changed the game. I no longer felt it was strong enough to enter into competition. All the painting needed to be done on location. 
Correction made in the studio from a reference photo.
A long process . One thinks its a slam dunk , then wham. Poor color temperature , scale . Or composition. A garden variety of problems appear towards the end. 
Wow! How can that happen! In the field. 
Hence En Plein Air makes one a better artist  all around.
