Time is precious and the time we give each other is priceless.

"WHERE TO NEXT?"

8x8, oil on panel, $100.00

Traveling and sight seeing is a day of decision making.  I caught sight of this couple sitting on the steps of the Art Institute of Chicago planning there next stop.  If I was to show the full view before cropping the scene to paint you would see my husband taking a snooze on the step to the right of them.  We had just spent the morning in the Art Institute and even I was exhausted.  What a fabulous place.  Never enough time for me there.  I was resting with my camera ready.  The city was bustling with activity and I had lots of time to take people photos for study and reference. 

So grateful for such a wonderful vacation with my husband and my boys.  

Old Town Afternoon 6x8 oil SOLD

It was an opening in the rain we have been having and a chance to paint. Old Town Orange is a fun place to walk and eat and enjoy a different visual experience.

I was fortunate to have a painting buddy, Dana Cooper, along to walk the town with, take some photos and find a little piece of pavement to set up and paint. The light was amazing , but fleeting as the clouds would blow in and out. So amazing how light changes and you find yourself chasing it or stopping and taking what you caught. We had a few hours before the clouds moved in to stay and the rain came down.
