It was supposed to be a beautiful day this past Friday! but turned out to be a bit chilly and windy.
Even tho the weather was not the best I went to Gold Head with 3 wonderful Friends.
Amy, from  Jacksonville, Fl., and Donna and Carol (sisters and snow birds), from Canada.


I gave Donna and Carol a little tour of Gold Head and then we settled on a location. What was I thinking when I suggested this location? It was down a large slope. And we had lots of supplies to carry down. Oh yes and carry or should I say struggle  back up with our supplies. ugh...  We had a really nice lunch and then looked around to decide on what we would each paint. 


I found a huge old oak. That caught my eye right away so that was what I wanted to paint. I'm not sure how long we were there. I got  right down to painting. I found some things difficult..Like trying to stay straight..I was sitting on a big slope and trying to keep everything from moving away from me.  I wouldn't give up on the big oak so I kept painting. Donna and Carol spotted some ducks playing in the  lake..they even told me the exact kind of ducks they were. Cool!
We had a wonderful time and I sure hope they ALL will come along with me on another adventure of painting.


This is my painting from our day at Gold Head.

That is a neat looking tree. I also love the way you did the ground. You are definitely getting the hang of painting "loose" with that big oak tree! You are progressing well.
