Plein Air Painting

Yesterday morning was perfect for doing something I love - plein air painting.

These sunflowers volunteered to pose for a couple of hours.  












The birds provided lovely music...




















 while a couple of friends stopped to visit.


                                             

  Before I knew it noon had arrived and the morning had disappeared.   Amazing how fast a few hours can fly when one is doing something they love.

Hope sweet friends you find a perfect morning to enjoy that special thing you love to do.

Hugs 
Debbie

  18. Sorry I was absent for some time here. Was on a trip to France for a couple of weeks. It looks really a perfect day there, with sunflower to paint, music to listen and some company sitting nearby. God is good everyday.
