May 15

This was our first trip this year to the Living Farm Heritage Museum in Howard County, and it was spectacular. There are easily a year’s worth of paintings there. The one spot where Brenda, Kay, and I set up had multiple excellent possibilities no matter which way we turned. The weather was once again amazing: sunny and not too warm, although a stiff breeze and frequent gusts threatened more than once to take our paintings into the next county. As usual, our hosts stopped by to see how we were doing and to suggest some additional painting spots for future sessions. Altogether, it’s one of my very favorite places for plein air. I’m quite happy with the painting I did that morning: I’ll post it as soon as I photograph it.
