| Canoeing with Shirley and Carol at Adirondack workshop. Life can’t all be fun and games. |
I set out this morning to write something deep and serious, but events overtook me. (It’s a temporarily rocky road I’m on.)
| Sue and Brad painting in my front garden during roses-and-peony season. |
What I really want is to think about painting outdoors in the summer, so here are some scenes from previous seasons. I’ve painted at 10°F—indeed, I’ve painted at 0°F—but not this year.
These are just a small sample of the many people I’ve been privileged to paint with and/or teach over the year, but just looking at good weather and good company reminds me that Spring is—indeed—right around the corner.
