For the second paint of the day, I found this view from Richie, looking east towards Santa Fe, just a couple blocks off Main St in Marceline, Missouri. I set up on the green space beneath the deep shade of an old oak tree. I had a large black and climb my leg, then stop at my knee - looking right up at me! I brushed him off and painted on. Within a minute, he had done it again! I thought I must be near an ant hill, so I moved forward a couple feet. It happened again, and I moved again. I went to load my brush and a large grandaddy long legs was waking along the edge palette! Each painting is an adventure all on its own. Painting number 1332 in 1332 days :)
