Surprise Plein Air Outing

It was magically 70 degrees today, 

so I dropped everything to paint outside. 

Thankfully, I ended up in my pal Sally's yard. 

The New England landscape is still very muted and brown,

 so her cool kiwi green umbrella and chairs got me inspired.   

  

Sally's Deck

This needs fixing for sure, 

but I was just so happy to be out there

in a t-shirt, listening to music, soaking up the sun.

It was a joyous spring surprise. 

NOTE:  Last season I didn't get to do much plein air painting 

because Cello was such a puppy.

Sally's fenced in yard was perfect for our inaugural outing!   

Once she explored the area

 she was content to just soak up the sun! 

Happy times are here again.
