The Tri County Art League met today at a wonderful new meeting room at City Center in Raymore. With plenty of room to work, each artist made 2 or 3 art cards to exchange and mail out to inactive members for the holidays. Using a few of my recent Ohio photos, I painted from my phone using ink and then watercolor. What a great way to start the holidays, creating something for others! Painting number 2124 in 2124 days.
With each day, the forsythia blooms open even more! Their spring glory is so fleeting, that I feel duty bound to capture them while I can! I love their sunny yellow cheerfulness - and am already planning on new places to plant the new babes. The dogs have gotten quite used to me painting in the pasture, and are my constant companions. I added a new color to my palette today - raw umber. I rarely use it, but have lately thought how perfect it would be for the dried grasses in the pasture. I like it! I'll see how much I use it before deciding if it is a keeper or not. Painting number 1530 in 1530 days, and what a gorgeous day it is!
