It’d been a while since I went out to paint a landscape. When spring finally hits, my priority is getting my garden and flowers and yard going. It’s a big job! Plus it’s also the time when galleries want new stuff for their walls, so it’s also what we call “schlepping season”. Exhausting!
Last summer I’d hurt my back and everything in the yard kind of went to hell, so it’s been an extra amount of work this year. Then last week my cat had a run-in with a raccoon which aggravated his arthritic back. He’s feeling better now. He hung around me while I painted this afternoon.


I was serenaded (or scolded?) the whole time by a pair of wrens, who had their nest nearby.
