What a fun week! This is the one week a year when I do not mom and I do not wife, I paint. No awards but I did sell a painting! And that’s plenty reward for me.

6/6/2021 Paint Annapolis!

Sunday was day 1 of my participation in Paint Annapolis (https://mdfedart.com/paintannapolis/#public) and this is my first ever plein air painting. What a learning experience! No apple in the painting but here it is, it was with me! All my art time is going to be taken-up by Paint Annapolis this week so there may be other times the apple is in my bag and not the art—fair warning. 

Anyway, I will have 3 paintings up and for sale in the Paint Annapolis “Pop-up” gallery June 12–22. If you like any of the others I don’t choose to submit, let me know—it can be yours!

 More progress on this piece: I refined and leveled the cottage and dock, added people. This is a real place, from my memory. My grandfather built this (no longer extant) cottage where I spent childhood summers. In the Poconos (PA, USA), the ground is littered with boulders and smaller rocks, left behind by the glacier that covered North America during the last ice age. The dock rests on two of these. Another sits out in the water, and is where we used to bathe. I learned to swim off the rightmost rock of the dock and spent plenty of time swinging in hammocks, catching frogs, fishing, and playing flashlight tag at night. I get quite choked-up contemplating this image. I may refine it a bit further. The apple is on the dock.

 No apple yet but it’s what I did today.
