Painting Outside

I left the house before dawn last week... to paint at Saguaro Lake.

It's just about the most perfect time of year to paint 'en plein air'... the crisp nip in the air... so peaceful and quiet... and the shadows long for a longer time in the day (that's a nice thing)... and no snakes!

It was incredibly beautiful.

Even though the painting wasn't finished before I had to leave... it couldn't have been a nicer way to start the day... incredibly beautiful it was.

I might just 'have' to go back to the same spot to finish that painting.

It might help as a way to take in all that is good and beautiful... and to remember the love we have for each other... especially for those who are suffering so greatly at this time... bearing such horrific tragedy.

May God give them the graces to cope with their great loss.

I do love this sheep barn in Vermont... especially in the early morning hours of Springtime.

It was a rainy day, this one... but all was cozy inside the sheep barn.
The little sparrows were flitting and resting on the ledge, soaking up the morning light... waiting for the sheep man to bring some grain for the nursing ewes with lambs.

... a glimpse from inside that cozy sheep barn in Vermont... the little sparrows were busy guys, chattering and flitting everywhere on and off the window sills.

They were cute... that's for sure.

Citrus leaves... I love 'em.

It's hard to find citrus fruit (any fruit, for that matter) with leaves, unless you have your own tree. I don't...

... but I did find this leafed, perfectly beautiful pink grapefruit.
