Ginnie's back yard

I've been sick ( really sick)  and tired of being at home. I decided to go to Ginnie's, my daughter, home and enjoy the beautiful day in her back yard.  I set up and didn't know what I wanted to paint. Ginnie has a beautiful fish pond complete with waterfall and I had thought I would give  shot at painting that area. But I turned around and saw the Chimneya. I remembered a beautiful evening I shared with my daughter and some very special friends ( Marie and Crystal) sitting around the fire of the chimneya . So that was my "target" for my plein air painting. I did this on a 9 x 12 canvas panel and it is now hanging, framed in Ginnie's living room.  Ginnie happily expressed her approval of the little painting and I was touched to see she enjoyed my little creation.

Ginnie has been blessed, as my mother's family has been, to have a giant green thumb. Her yard is beautiful, interesting, and inviting.

Thanks Ginnie for letting me hang out and spend the afternoon with you. I LOVE YOU, Mom

Thank you so much Linda. I'm just painting and know I have no idea what I am doing Plein Air. There are so many rules...One thing I know is that I LOVE PAINTING and no matter how it comes out I had fun.

Thanks for checking out my little painting.

See you Next Week in Evinston!

Hi Sam,

Amazing well I'm not sure about that. Well, amazing might be that I won't give up painting Plein Air. I am amazingly stubborn, I have along way to go and may never get "there" but boy do I have fun trying!
