This Virginia farm is one of my favorite locations to paint.

I'm trying to focus on the next few days, when I'll be painting in another plein air competition.

My goal is to create better work than I have in the past.  I want to further develop my skills as a plein air painter. 

This has been a good summer for thinking, painting, drawing and considering what direction I want my work to go in next, although I haven't come up with any decisions.  But, it's all a process and I think these things take time.....
