Getting Acclimated!!

It has been a challenge to get adjusted to painting in a new environment. We have spent the first two weeks cleaning and organizing our Coop and then, for those of us who are totally indecisive, trying to figure out where to paint...front room or back , near the air conditioner or not, by the east or west window...too many choices...overwhelming for some reason. Finally parked myself somewhere, began to paint in earnest and loved having a space to create with friends/ fellow painters.

The above photos are inspirations for future paintings. The mergansers above were one day visitors to our backyard lake...migrated in and were swiftly gone. Hope everyone will bring many photos and pages from favorite magazines to The Coop to form a "library" of sorts to inspire us all. I recently painted some flowers inspired by such a torn page and attach it here. The "flower pot" is made of burlap and the whole project was great fun! Looking forward to mingling ideas and "knowledge??"at The Coop.
