Stable Before Dusk, 12 x 12, L. Daniel
.
This weekend we had our annual Plein Air Austin painting trip. Organized by the fabulous Julie Davis, 23 of our members traveled to the Hill Country to paint for 3 days. There was no shortage of incredible views; and paint, we did! Late Friday afternoon, four of us pulled off the road at this horse stable to catch that end-of-day light. Although the horses never came back while we were there, we could hear them "neighing" the whole time. :)

On a side note, today I met a blogosphere painter friend in real life! Tracey Mardon from Edmonton, Canada came to town and we had a wonderful lunch together. Tracey and I have been blog friends for awhile now and it was so fun to finally meet! It was like meeting a pen pal! Thanks for coming to Austin, Tracey!!!

Hi Laurel,
I am so behind on my commenting, but I hope you know that I love your work. This is beautiful.

Laurel, the fun was all mine! I don't know that I have ever met such a bunch of warm hospitable people as we did this week in Texas. The memories could easily turn my painting blog into a trip blog and I might just indulge that for a few posts. A week just wasn't enough! I love the warmth that showed up in your paintings from the weekend; you can see it was a wonderful time. Happy painting in Georgia!
I'm running out of superlatives. The peach tones balance the greens beautifully. You are a master of greens, the hardest color to paint convincingly.
