Imagine me wearing my bigger than life sun hat, sitting on a black rod iron bench, surrounded by all my equipment and just drawing and painting to hearts content! A beautiful day!
Then I returned home and read a book in my hammock in the shade of our back yard. A perfect Friday if you ask me. How did you spend yours? Wishing everyone a happy weekend too.
WOW.. this is great. You are improving by every drawing you do. I really really like this. I too spent some time working on an oil painting..in fact finished it. It was a lovely day here too.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh what a beautiful painting, a glimpse at your town and to picture you reading a book in a hammock wow! We are in a blizzard, snow , wind and ice,, quite a contrast.Thankyou for visiting
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your Plein Air art! Just lovely! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeletethat is a great piece and it sounds as though you had just about the perfect Friday...xx
ReplyDeleteSuch lively sketch, happy and bright. Great Work!
ReplyDeleteSounds like pure bliss....and looks like it, too!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. So much detail. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day. I can't wait until it is warm enough to do that here. Love seeing your sketches.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are one busy woman. Love what you create! And love your photographs too. Thanks for coming to my blog. I am your follower now as well. I'm off to see more of your wonderful work.:)
ReplyDeleteEnormously beautiful, Lynn. I do so love your style and if I had the talent that would be my choice of style to do. If you ever get back to my blog, please let me know the process. Do you lay down paint first and then do the sketches, or do you sketch and then fill in with watercolors? Thanks for removing that dratted word verification. They don't make things easy to change in blogland. I found that out by trying to change my email address for blogger. An impossibility. Or maybe I just haven't found the right button to push.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day(was Henry in the hammock with you?). I am enjoying all your paintings, you could do a book :-).
ReplyDeleteMe, I worked yesterday and got some bad news, so not so wonderful, but today I get to hike and paint, now that is more like it :-).
xoxo
It shows in your drawing the peace and tranquility of your spirit that day. Saludos

Thank you Mary and thanks for coming by. Hope you will return often.
DeleteThat looks great! I love the hot pink and your technique for drawing leaves! Very original and refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Painting.
Thanks Nora, you know your words make my day!
DeleteI am so proud of you!!! You have come so far since I first started reading your blog, probably over a year ago, maybe more. To just sit out in the sun, sketching and painting in front of the whole world, my oh my! I was just showing my husband how you sketch all the time and don't have any fear...I do want to rise to that someday. I'm way too concerned with detail and have such a hard time being free and loose, but I'm practicing!
ReplyDeletePatty, just give it a try. I did have to do breathing exercises to calm myself at first. But if you just let yourself enter the "zone" you won't even know other people are out there. Practice, practice, practice...really works for me.
Deletewow, good job lynn...you always use wonderful color...i can almost taste it! it's been fun traveling around that little town with you...i keep trying to guess where you are ;)
ReplyDeletei have finally landed at a new blogsite i love. here's the address without linking just in case of a problem with that. it's on wordpress and called musings on country living dot wordpress dot com - i hope you come by soon, i am missing all my blogging friends. xoxoxo
Linda, thanks for popping in today. For the Queen of Color to tell me she likes mine is very special indeed! Had trouble finding the new site. Hope I will eventually. Do not want to lose contact!
DeleteLovely Friday art. It was cold and so windy here, you would have needed rocks in your pocket just to sit, much less paint. Winds were 50 mph plus at times. My wind chimes were really rocking. Glad you had the perfect day.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, how funny. We definitely had opposite weather days! ;-)
Deletesounds perfect! happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteWelcome jean! Thanks, it was! Happy PPF to you too. What a fun group you all are.
DeleteA heavenly retreat on a perfect TGIF day, lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly captured the moment in this very lovely painting. Luv the fern trees in the pots.
Annabelle ; )
