I was out painting with PAAC yesterday at Chatfield State Park. This is a favorite spot just north of the gravel swim pond. I have several friends that like to paddle board, kayak and canoe here. The birds along the shore line and hidden in the marshy spots are plentiful. I had that "magical feeling" of true happiness that I talked about in a previous post. Realizing that selling work is awesome but just getting outside does it for me too. Every single day. I love being outside.
This was a 16x20 - cropped down, you can see that from the last photo in this post. I'm still working on getting those bare winter haunted looking trees painted in a way that I'd actually want to hang on my wall. Maybe when the leaves come back out ... spring fever has hit, sigh.
