Good Friends

This 6x6 oil is of two good friends in my summer school class.  They are out doing some plein drawing with the class.  I walk from student to student helping and answering questions as they draw.  I always have a camera to capture moments like these.  These girls are always there for each other.

Doing the things I love are usually in conflict with the things I need to do. All summer I have been trying to get out and walk as much as I can. I walk in the morning and I love to paint in the morning and I love to hang with my husband and family in the morning too. So I have been making myself get out to walk a little early so that I might get the exercise (a must) and then have time to visit with Bob and have a cup of "joe". The thing that has been the most difficult has been getting my act together to paint in the morning because I didn't want to give up my time with husband and family. I am the best in the morning and the rest of the day is down hill.

So today I walked, had coffee with Bob and then went off to paint with my friend Cindy. I felt complete.

This little painting was done out behind Cindy's house in East Bluff. We were on a beautiful green belt over looking the back bay with a cool breeze. The struggle was the overcast to sun and sun to overcast, so the light does not seem right. I like it anyway. I had fun with being loose and just brushing on the paint and leaving it alone.

So...walk, fam, paint, friend. It was a very good day.
