Baldur

...and the winner of Challenge CXXIV is Baldur.

Ok here we go.
The challenge this time is to produce a plein aire style landscape.
You may use any theme
Originally a plein aire painting was done by trekking out into the wild with your easel firmly tucked under your arm. Once you found inspiration you quickly captured the view.
Some were very detailed, others more impressionistic in nature but the main premise was to produce the work, quickly, in one sitting.
No need to take your computer out to the woods for this. Do a plein aire image from memory, Baldur is a rulebreaker.

The winner will be chosen on Sunday May 11th, Mother's Day.
Have fun.

I tried hard o follow your instructions Baldur, but when I got back from my trek, I was so tired that this was all I could remember!

Looking on the positive side - there is plenty of 'pleine aire' in the picture.

Baldur, the trek was extensive, it could have been anywhere.

To make up for the puzzlement I caused, here is a British babbling brook.

I left a message on one of the drawings she had done, but she never responded. Plus I left the message here.
You may have the baton if you wish clorophilla.
