Hello Everyone!   Early in the year I plan the summer/fall months for art events.  I had a really awesome plan for this year, and then IT happened.   This blasted virus has now smashed some plans, most noted is the plein air convention and it about broke my lil heart!!     The others may come around as they are later in the year but what for now??

I come up with ideas when I hike or ride.   Sometimes I'm even clever enough to write them down!   I post these on my studio wall, some later look pretty dorky, some stay up until the day its time to launch.   And here we are....

Since we're all suppose to be hanging close to home, and since I live where that's not a bad thing, I am going to launch my post-it idea of

                                                                                                "5 Miles from Home"

For the next year, starting today, I will make at least 1-2 paintings per month, from life only, with the perimeter of being only 5 miles or less from my home.  From my front door even!     It may be scenery or still life or from my garden or barnyard.    

So watch here and on my facebook pages, and see what I find "5 Miles from Home"
