Spring Arrives at the Cabins

I don't think I've ever been to these cabins when all of their spring trees were in bloom - so I HAD to paint them.  After a busy day, and a meal at Good News Brews, I set up with an hour before sunset, to capture this place.  With big brushes and thick paint, I marked all the light and shadow while I had it.  Then I worked to the middle, meeting edges and getting the panel covered.  It was so much fun to stand in this place and paint, listening to the leaves rustle and the kids play in the park behind the school.  What a wonderful evening for painting!  Painting number 3404 in 3404 days. 

Spring Comes to Crestview

It seems that every season I paint is my favorite season, when I'm in front of my easel!  Spring colors are unfolding today as the sun shines warm upon us, and the birds are happily singing their songs.  After the morning's Quick Paint, I settle into this lovely farmhouse scene, and relish the sheer joy of painting on such a lovely day.  Visiting all the while, I soon finished up and headed out for a quiet paint along the water of the pond.  I love these days spent painting, I am so at home in the landscape with paints.  Painting number 3390 in 3390 days. 

Springtime at the Cabins

As we drove down this Locust street, these cabins surrounded by springtime bloom captured my attention!  I had Teddy stop the car and started unloading my art gear on the spot.  I suddenly realized I had left my palette in the freezer back at Augusta Shores!!  Already late to start the History paint out, I dropped Teddy off instead and rushed back to get my palette.  The early light was still strong when I returned so I missed no time setting back up to paint!  I really love the rich colors of early morning light - and this was a delightful painting morning!  Even if I was standing in full sun!  Painting number 3034 in 3034 days!
