Paint, Eat, Sleep

What a whirl wind week- the usual at plein air events.  Everything is at mega speed, you paint in the morning at one location and by afternoon you think you were there yesterday .  You paint, eat, sleep and do it again. The days run together and blur...

Then there's this big party...

and there is music...

and laughter...

secrets are shared...

new friends celebrate...

the collectors arrive...

awards are given...

congratulations and good cheer abound...

 the moment is fleeting...

 

painting is a memory...

 

art leaves for a new home...

parting is imminent...

the crowd is gone, the couch is full ...

we leave Vermont and head for home.
