The Artist

 

I have often admired this wonderful old Willow tree at James Gardens and on a recent trip to visit the ducks there, this woman was spotted doing a painting of it. It must take bravery to paint outside in public like that. I don't think that I could do it.

I feel you'd have to be pretty sure of your talent to display half-finished works so publicly. I'd rather take a quick picture then slink away.

Gosh, that is a big one. It must be so old.

I saw a woman doing it yesterday afternoon. She was looking at a huge outdoor sculpture. When I peeked at her canvas, she had just started with an outline.

An interesting subject for painting.

Painting in outside is an accepted way to capture the beauty of nature. Good for this artist doing plain air painting.

Or play an instrument outdoors!

I don’t know when I last saw someone out painting like that.

I grew up with a big willow tree on the property.
