What could be better than fresh air, sunshine, a shady spot on a warm day, the sound of a river, spending time with friends, and a creative activity? I consider plein air painting with friends as one of the best possible spring/summer/fall activities!  This pic is from a lovely day painting at the Big Thompson River in Loveland, CO (Fairgrounds Park) with art friends https://www.patpilkingtonfineart.com and https://www.3seagullsart.com. 

I painted a watercolor of an early morning sunrise over Estes Park. The colors were amazing!

I was honored to have this painting chosen by Estes Park for their Art in Public Places. It was reproduced on a banner and displayed summer/fall 2019 on the new parking structure.

What fun it was to visit with so many people - artists and appreciator of arts - and friends - at this year's Art Studio Tour - at Independence Gallery in Loveland, CO.
