The last two days have been a bit frustrating for me. Yesterday I was packed and had headed out to paint up the coast when the drops of rain on my windshield made me decide to turn around and head home. I know that many artists paint in the rain, but I just wasn't ready for that. I really do prefer dry... (and cozy warm.)
Today I was scheduled to head out with a group of artists to a beautiful canyon a good long drive from here. The place we were scheduled to paint is called Red Rock Canyon. With the weatherman calling for intermittent heavy rain storms with lightning, I formed this picture of all of us being washed down the canyons by flash floods. I decided not to go.---- Didn't really want to make a splash on the evening news in quite THAT way.... so to speak.
Now I look outside and while it's pretty cold, it isn't raining and the clouds are absolutely gorgeous!! So I've been kicking myself for being toochicken prudent.
Here's the good news: Because my flower painting from Arlington Garden has now SOLD, (See my last post.) I was left without a painting to submit for their fund-raising sale. I'm REALLY HAPPY that the painting sold, but I did want to try to contribute to the cause, so I decided to paint some new paintings from the photos I took in the gardens. Though not quite as satisfying as painting en plein air, it is nice to try to create from the comfort of one's studio. Above you see the results of yesterday's efforts. I'll try to do another today... we'll see. I may even try to paint another version of the three irises I painted before.

And more good news..... I just got word that the Red Rock Canyon trip is rescheduled... So I'll have another chance at that one... Yeah!!!
Happy painting to you... whatever the weather and where ever you paint!!
