i went out this morning looking for new places to paint and i think i have found a neat place...a boatyard, down at mccotters marina they have a yard with 20 or more boats sitting in the yard...not in the water and these are large ones , 30 plus feet. what do you think? let me know...

this was last year on the washington waterfront, now you can't tell me this is not good for your blood pressure.

i really believe this extends your life and makes you a really nice guy, or girl, it also makes some of us much younger.

was a good day today, went to the riverwalk gallery gallery knowing their plen air paint out would be rained out, so found me a place to set up that would keep me dry and still paint....no rain all day, didn't paint what i wanted , it was fun and a really good day.
painted friday and saturday...gonna take tomorrow off and sit around the studio and clean brushes and read....
