Here’s the second of the paintings I did at Reader Rock Garden on Wednesday. The oriental poppies were just past their prime but I found a few that inspired with their incredibly rich colors.
We had another gorgeous day today. It would have been incredible for painting outdoors but I trekked over to Michael’s for an hour and shopped for my art time today… scored 14 sheets of Strathmore 140lb watercolor paper for 40 cents each!!! Sweet!
I continue to marvel at how much enjoyment and fulfillment I find in my artistic pursuits. I had so much fun on Wednesday’s paint out! I’d love to do that twice per week. BUT, I must find a way to do it smarter or shorter, or something… Wednesday was lovely but I can’t have too many Thursdays like yesterday. Today is much better pain-wise but… Anyway, to state it in a positive light – I’m thankful that I have friends to paint with, I live in a beautiful part of the world, and I WILL figure out how to get outdoors and paint somehow without a pain flare! I WILL. Anybody with ideas about how I can do this please step forward.
Matthew, our soldier son, arrived back to his home in Ontario for his mid-mission break today. He’s been in Afghanistan since April. He has 2 weeks off and then he’s back there until November… Welcome home Matthew – I am so proud to be your mom! Enjoy your well deserved time off!
