Painting and Stuff

I went plein air painting yesterday with my partner in crime, Sam Fish. 

We found a nice empty field filled with dry grass, cool trees, and piles of garbage. 

Our paintings that we did perfectly showcase one of my favorite things about art.

 This is my painting.

This is Sam's.

We were in the same place at the same time on the same day using the same medium, but we came out of it with two completely different paintings. I saw a whole scene whose feeling I wanted to capture, whereas Sam saw something in that tree that he liked, and tried to show the character of it. 

I love how much variety there is in art. Each artist sees, hears, and feels something that they want to remember and communicate to others. I guess you could say that we're all on the same road going to different places *strokes beard philosophically*.
