River House 1

River House 1

For the last couple of days I have had the opportunity to paint in a new location, in a sun room overlooking a river, and it has been a glorious way to break into plein air painting for this year. I am not sure that it would technically be called plein air painting, since I am not exactly outside, but I did have to pack up my kit and travel, and the windows opened wide and let in the outdoors as I worked. It was spectacular!

While I was painting, I saw quite a few new-to-me things, like a bird that is unfamiliar to me, a black squirrel with a white tip on it's tail, and a bunch of deer that meandered through the wooded area across the river and eventually lay down in a little hollowed out spot among the trees. As you know if you have followed me in the past, I love the outdoors and flora and fauna when I am able to be among them. I suspect it brings a big serotonin boost to be outdoors - or almost outdoors. 

I hope you are having a lovely spring!
