Plein air painting at Lake Whitney. We drove to Lake Whitney for the Bosque Conservatory National Juried Show at Clifton, and I took my new pochade box along. We stayed at a B&B called Lakehaven. Very nice. I Made two paintings of Lake Whitney. The compositions were not so strong, but I was mainly concerned with experiencing the color/light dynamic. I feel that I improved over my first effort at Coeur d' Alene. I am using a small palette knife. The feeling of being there with my wonderful husband, painting in the fresh air and sunshine, looking at this beautiful scenery and hearing the splashing of the water on the beach... was exhilarating and I was filled with joy. I kept thinking...wow, I have really found something wonderful. I am so blessed.

Very nice Laura.
Sounds like a great time!
Also loved the painting you sent me. I love those watery lines that lead into the landscape.
Can't find the ranch picture I was thinking of...probably got sent to a disk to free up space on this poor old Mac.
Good luck with your new blog!
