Where is Julie Andrews?

70  F little hazy, but starting to clear.

My first spot is maybe 200 yards or so from my room, I got out of the art supply trip because Kerstin offered to pick up the few things I needed.  I don't have turpentine so I couldn't tone my canvas, but I wanted to start anyway....

This is my panel carrier, ready for my day!  I have a panel, a prepared canvas (store-bought) taped to a blank panel, and two pieces of prepared paper taped to another blank, and a fresh piece of plexi glass for a pallet. This is me refusing to change the way I work, it's altered a bit......

I wanted to see what was out the door, so I started out on one of many paths that criss-cross the land here, and determined that I could easily spend my residency painting within hiking distance of this place, and I love that!

I brought about 70 surfaces to paint on, and I'm not sure if that's enough! But I don't want to let that hinder me, and if I run out, I'll just have to get more.

The color of the lake is subtlety different than anything we have at home, and I'm sure there will be many attempts to get this.

  This is where I left this little sketch.

Money shot, these aren't as good as the ones on panels because of the border........

They had us pack lunch, they had these.....

I continued on to see what else was in hiking distance, not 1/2 mile there is a small farm hamlet........


note to self: change some $ into euros so I can get coffee at the cafe'.

I'll come back and paint in or near the village, but I had decided I wanted to subject a tree, I looped around and found this one.
