Little Blue Building - Day 11

I was driving home from Garrison and I had to back out to get this shot

anticipating him jumping the fence to get me!

I did survive to paint this.

The first painting of the year! And, the beginning of 30 paintings in 30 days. Thanks Leslie Saeta for once again hosting this challenge.

"Oregon Coast in the Summer"

We were at a wedding of the daughter of our dear friend. Suddenly this once little girl was marrying her love in the most meaningful place of their lives, and the day was a little cold but gorgeous.

Apple with Leaves

I cannot resist an apple that's just been picked from a tree.

"On the River"

I did this awhile ago but had to fix the kayaker's hat. We were biking across a bridge around sunset and I was able to quickly snap a picture of this guy with duckweed and the train station in the background.
