Memorial Day plein air painting

Paint What You Love
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and it was such a gorgeous day for remembering those who have given their lives for freedom here in the United States. In the late afternoon, I got the chance to paint out near where my Beloved Husband was working in the shed. Since I felt like it had been too long since I had done any plein air painting, I wanted to start small, and paint something I love. This is another view of our pasture, with part of our woods in the background, and part of our neighbor's property too.

It was such a treat to have the time together this weekend, with a chance to catch up on work around our own home. As I walked this morning in our woods, and looked at the freshly mowed pasture and branches that had been trimmed from overhanging our driveway, I thought about how thankful I am for this beautiful home. I was reminded of this passage from the Psalms that often comes to my mind when I paint Indiana scenes - especially the places I love here. 

Psalm 16:5-6 
Lord, you are my portion
and my cup of blessing;
you hold my future.
The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
