OUT with the old, eh? May take a walk, rub some charcoal over paper on thee old gravestones, but the western, winter afternoon light may call. Winter painters are sparse around here, but other plein air connections are plentiful elsewhere in the snow! Rain dances in the graveyard also appeal.
ReplyDeleteToo windy in Bodega today, (18-31mph in forecast, after 2 months of clear, windless days….may return to Mt Taylor. (fyi)
