A bit chilly here, but otherwise perfect! This scene is only about 2 miles from my house. I think this is the first time I’ve ever attempted to paint it. The Queen Anne’s lace is in full glory and the grasses are just beginning to turn into the rusty-brown-hay tones. Wonderful clouds today.

After this, I stopped back home to make a cup of coffee and check on my cats. My oldest (and smartest) cat, Picasso, had a bit of a tussle with a raccoon about a month ago and I hesitate leaving him out in the yard when I’m gone. Thankfully, he was OK.

The farmer ripped all his trees up this summer and it looks very sad. He’ll replant with newer varieties next spring. Still, it looks sad.
