This is my # 1300 post
We went to Maine for the week and did not get to paint due to the really bad weather and doing other small things around the cabin that took time from my painting, anyway today I couldn't stand it anymore it was raining still and decided oh well I will paint the dog!  It felt so good to paint again! if you like this painting email me nlcasey@charter.net

Love the wild little flowers that comes up in the Spring, like violets and these blue ones not sure of the name ? it's a bit of magic every year! my friend's yard was covered with them. This was a plein air painting.

I came upon this scene a few years ago where the sun was shining on this barn and  the red poppies , I just wanted to paint it right then but on the side of the road was not possible, but thought to myself I will some day, so it took a while, I have many scenes like this that keeps coming back to me but sometimes just no time , I sometimes think I need a couple lives to achieve all the things I want to paint. With the good weather the yard keeps calling my name as well! 
at least my cold is better!

I had a wonderful trip to Maryland  and nice visit with my children and grandchildren and watched a lot of baseball games, one grandson had two home run in one game, so I wanted to paint this for him . the one thing I came back with is a bad  case of bronchitis that has me tired, and the pollen in full bloom is not helping .Hopefully my life will get back to normal soon!
