by the creek

outdoor sketch, oil on linen, 6.25" x 10"

Here's how I spent my afternoon yesterday.  The weather was beautiful - high of 58 and sunny.  The ducks, swans and goldfinches were all in fine form.  I'm sure there were other creatures out there too but those were the ones that came into my field of view.  I was painting by a little walking bridge and as it turned out, the vantage I chose gave the passersby a front row seat.  It's always nice to hear their kind comments.  And I like having plenty of people around because I feel much safer that way.
