Feb. 21, 2009 "Fall At It's Best"
It's cold outside, so decided to get some painting done. This is another painting started last October. It's a view above the small dam, at the trout hatchery. I couldn't resist painting this fisherman. Although one fisherman left and another stood in his place, so I had to revise it a little. There were many fishermen and women coming and going, but that's what you have when you paint plein air. I just get in a "zone"....and look past them, and then hardly notice they are there. Those seriously fishing, hardly notice me too. "Touche" .

    Susan,
    What a wonderful painting. Really love how you have captured the feeling of the place and the moment.

This new blog title seems to fit me better.   Going many directions, hits it right on the head.....ha.    Life is a little crazy for us right now.    Some good days, some not so great.    We're just taking each day as they come, and making the most of time with family and friends.    I don't think anything can turn your life upside down anymore than "Cancer".    Life as you know it flashes before your eyes......and then is gone.    Bob is being brave and courageous with his fight against lung cancer.    We never expected his Vietnam stint to come back and bite him in the butt, but that's just what happened, and is happening to many other veterans of our generation.    Here's a photo from those army days, and love to all our family and friends for the thoughts and prayers.

June came in hot and heavy. Bob and I are working as park attendant/custodians here at Stockton Lake again. Other than the heat, we enjoy meeting the campers and seeing all the wildlife that wander through our park. I saw a doe and two, new, little fawns this morning. One of the little ones didn't know what to think about the pavement as they made they're way across the road. The heavy part of June was the loss of Bob's oldest brother and a close neighbor. When it rains it pours as they say. It's not easy when we start losing loved ones. Just thankful they are not suffering, and in a better place. Now this 4 th of July weekend is a scorcher as campers are all scrambling to find a shade tree. I won't be out plein air painting until the heat lets up a little. Until next time, enjoy your weekend. God bless America.
