Default Painting Outdoors Part Deux: The 5 day workshop on the Outer Banks, NC

We got home mid-week from our ten day vacation to the Outer Banks, where five of those days were dedicated to a plein air pastel workshop. I have to say my neuropathy seemed to like the activity, but the bad news is my Crohn's is flaring up so bad I have an appointment to see my gastroenterologist next week. I had to skip out early on Thursday's session, and the first leg of our flight back home was made miserable by an attack during take-off!

But I did paint seven new pictures in five days! While they are not perfect, nor really complete, given the heat, humidity, and physical challenges, I am pleased that I learned much. (The last picture was done indoors, as it rained. The photo I used for it is from my trip back home to Iowa last winter.)

Enjoy!

Hope you are feeling better...I think my favorite is the boats, and my second choice is the bridge, and third is the riverbank with trees.

I do so hope you feel better soon
