a little bit too hot for me to go out plein air right now ... but I might just go thinking about your 1st painting.

Thank you DOP! It is hot!!! I painted two little sketches in the heat and the rest of the 3 day weekend I painted a couple of times in the coolness of the studio... MUCH better to be in there.
