All in a Day...
From Cows on the Farm to Studio Paint In
Earlier today, I enjoyed this gorgeous day out on the farm with my in
person plein air class ... in the company of cows including a trio of
black calves, lots of horses and some neato students. I couldn't be
happier. (I'll go back soon to capture those scenes myself.) This
spring has been a real time to relish and cherish the joys of each
other's company and the world around us.
Nice Models for Class Today.

After enjoying all that magic outside, today (May 13) at 5pm Eastern
Time, I'm the Thursday 5 O'Clock Club Guest Host - Virtually via
Facebook Live - for the Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Club. My topic is
"Painting My House" - capturing the beauty and intimacy of interiors.
While I wasn't wandering around on farms and traveling to exciting
places during the Pandemic, my focus turned to exploring through paint
all the nooks and crannies in my house. At 5 - tune in to let me show
you some of those pieces but mainly to watch and ask questions while I
capture my home studio in paint.
