Rockhurst University Belltower

 

What fun it was to sketch on the campus of Rockhurst University as they celebrate the arts in October!  Calling it Artoberfest, the Kansas City Symphony was on site playing as artists and urban sketchers dotted the campus. The first 25 paintings completed today were framed and are now hanging in the Greenlease Gallery on site this weekend.  Love celebrating the arts in the community - and commemorating the day in paint!  Painting number 4365 in 4365 days. 

Flags Flying on 1st Street

It was a rainy morning when I set up to paint. Looking for shelter, I tucked in close to the bank building, with a narrow awning to shelter me. I surprised the lady inside when she opened the blinds to see me right on the other side! I'm so glad I could catch the sun breaking free of a rainy day, creating a beautiful sky to paint in Keosauqua! Wet streets and a cool sky - what else could an artist ask for?  I'm happy this painting has a new home, too! Painting number 4234 in 4234 days.  ❤️
