This past weekend was Parents' Weekend at both boys' schools in Colorado, so I left a few days early to paint in the Oil Painters of America's Paint Out in Woodland Park, near Pikes Peak. The Aspens were in full color, and I was in heaven. This being my first "away" paint out, I wasn't very well prepared! I sat on my suitcase and balanced my painting on my knees while the wind whipped all around me. The landscape moved me so much that I lost myself in my painting and didn't realize that I came pretty close to hypothermia one blustery morning...
Next time, I'll be ready! Fingerless gloves are a must-- as is my easel. I can't wait to go again!

You caught the Rockies. I live in the Springs...where do your boys go to school?
