 Paint outside under the sun, accompanied by the songs of birds and the sweet heady smell of spring blossoms. If you are new to art-making, this is an opportunity to play with paint and hone your observation skills.

  2. Its a good thing you got outside last weekend...today feels like winter. The diptych was beautiful...so full of spring color and the lake in the distance a nice touch.
    I agree with the previous comment that "In the Orchard" has such a happy feel to it. That glorious time of year when sights, sounds, and smells are at their finest. You have certainly captured that feeling.
