"Company Halt...Attention"
6x6"
I had just finished setting up to paint this little scene from our campsite which caught my eye, when the clouds opened up and it poured. I sat there in the rain like an idiot with my little umbrella huddled over my easel until the clouds parted and I could get to work. I am glad I did though, got to paint for the next couple of hours until the next cloud dropped its load. Trust me, I now have a renewed sense of appreciation for plein air painters. Between the ants crawling up your legs, mosquitoes biting you, flies buzzing around your head, not to mention the scorching heat & sunburn, gusty winds and the ever frequent cloud bursts, I don't know how anyone accomplishes much of anything. Don't these trees look like a regiment standing at attention ready to go into battle?
We head out today for the Fort Davis Mountains, McDonald Observatory, and on into NM to Carlsbad Caverns where we will hopefully stay in a KOA...that is if there is room in the inn? We never make reservations just to add to the mystery and suspense of camping. If worst comes to worst we can always find the local WalMart parking lot. ; )
Somewhere under the rainbow in Alpine Texas...can you see it?
