Day 1 of the 30 Day Challenge

This is my first painting for the 30 Day/30 Paintings challenge. I am hoping to use this experience and practice to learn to simplify my paintings, rather than get bogged down in all the tiny details.
This painting depicts a pathway at the Adkins Arboretum, at the Tuckahoe State Park in Ridgely, Maryland. I was there with my plein air painting group and took a few reference photos to use for this challenge. It was a very hot summer day and I hope I depicted the heat of the day!
