Happy Independence Day!

In honor of the holiday, I completed a painting I had begun plein air back in May when I was the guest of Mary’s cousins Sue and Pete Betts for 3 days. This is the view from their sunroom window. It was an amazing that while I worked on this, leaves changed from bud to open leaf; ferns from bump to unfurled fronds; and the water level receded so the water in this painting was mere mud. While I stayed there, I visited daily with my mom and dad – that was my mom’s mother’s day gift- me!

I also worked some of the problem areas out on yesterday’s still life:

I wish everyone a safe and happy day!
