I have begun painting in earnest outdoors: this oil painting is of Spearfish Canyon.  In the photo you can see Spearfish Creek (no, that isn’t snow, but knowing this spring, it could well have been!)  This painting is 12 inches square, and will eventually be posted on my website, in my gallery, once it is dry and ready to sell.

Once an artist has stood on the spot, breathed in the air and heard the sounds native to a particular location, it all comes back when seeing the art: I love that!
