Hah, spending the weekend at this venue had its merits beyond selling....because most of us did not! I am glad Pam did sell and that her work appealed to those who just love the inlets and byways of the bayside Chesapeake waterways. I got to spend times with friends, expected and not ( yeah for seeing Mary) and meet new people. Mostly got to paint with you, Annie, always good and I think our little foray onto the Tarr's backyard was a good exercise in deciding quickly scene & composition, setting up and putting paint down. Still gotta do a start w/ umber and add color sort a thingy. Fun to paint this and I think we both got some good things going.
Hope unpacking is going well. It is such an odd job. Some places I have just loved going into. I do have to laugh at a bit of advice I got from a navy captn's wife: if you haven't unboxed a carton in three weeks, good chance you don't really need anything in it. Bit while there is truth to that, not that many have the courage to flit things off easily.
Will wrangle with Rico tomorrow, fine enough, I have not ridden the beach in ever so many years. And with soft ands, inevitable falls should not be much to concern anyone. After that the old gray and the pintaloosa come to stay here for rations of grain & hay and perhaps light work to steady them up.
Anyway nice to paint quick quick into the evening gloom!
the little painting you did looks pretty darn good

Not bad for less than an hour and failing light. Jack would say I want to hear brushes bristling, guess we did.
ReplyDeleteSorry yours got smished because it was good start. Painting the creek nearby sounds good. I always like to paint what's right nearby, would get to a point where I'd think, could paint here ten years and not run out of subject matter...and then we'd move!
Was talking to a friend today about painting out and how great it has been to paint out with you.
