Catching Up

Not having posted this year, due to dramatic changes in my life, I decided posting was severely overdue, lest I gave it up altogether.

The painting below was started as a plein air last summer, finally finished a few months ago.  It's the painting underway in the blog post of me in the red apron under the umbrella.  The photo was taken at Duck Dance Farm, which was part of Pioneers of the Blue Ridge event.

In the coming week I'll be at the second North Carolina Plein Air Open, a great event with many interesting and talented artists. It takes place in Salisbury which has many finely restored homes and a wonderful train station.  The Waterworks Gallery is the center for this event.
