March 18 Sail and a red sunset

I thought I'd have a nice evening of painting. Forgot about a meeting at school. After the meeting as we left the parking lot I noticed a sign that said, "Police vehicle parking only." The was going to be in my painting of the day.

When we got home I checked the e-mail and there were lots of vinegar orders. A very nice article about the vinegary came out in the Star Tribune today and the Prairie Yard and Garden show (with the segment about the vinegary) aired on Pioneer Public television tonight. So, I've been responding to e-mails.

The painting had to go quickly. My plan for painting the sign dissolved in the first brush strokes.

January 27 Winter Twilight

I was driving home today, just as the sun was setting. It did lovely smoky lavendar and saffron things to the clouds. I had my camera along, but didn't stop to photograph the landscape. I should have, it would only have taken a minute. Instead, I've relied on my memory and created the third winter scene in a row. It's a little larger than some. I hope you like it.
