Spending three days painting in Palisade Colorado with my friend Diane. We are staying at a residence at a winery. We have painted the mountain scenery, the vines, grapes, a table scape with fresh produce. I am working in acrylics and she is using oils. The painting is so enjoyable but with the usual challenges of painting en plein air, hot blinding sun,heat, wind, insects and just settling on your subject choice. At the same time it leaves you open to enjoy the wonderful quality of light, the birds, and the complete atmosphere of this area. Since we are both cooks our meals have consisted of fresh vegetables and of course the wonderful wine that is made here. It has been a wonderful healing time away from the city and it’s pressures. I can’t wait to be invited back. Enjoying good conversation at painting breaks puts this trip over the top.

I want to be there under that blue sky.
Sounds too good to be true! But I know it is and am happy for you.
