Today, I finally got out there and started painting en plein aire again, and I plan to go out again this weekend.  Since I had Lyme's Disease last September, it's been a bit worrisome to go out.  But, it's no good to be fearful.  This is what I'm meant to do, so I'll be staying out of weeds, wearing insect repellant,  and staying on sidewalks.  I've happy to announce that I've been accepted into the Mountain Maryland Plein Aire Event, which takes place in Cumberland, MD, the end of May. Come and see me work!

And, here's the website for the Virginia State Show.  I'm so honored to have won an Award of Merit.  Here's the show:

Now, back to work.  I'm painting a series of Italian scenes and here's a picture for your enjoyment...."From the Top, Florence."
