Back from Birding

This is another of the paintings I did up at the farm this summer - done from life in our cozy farm kitchen, with my hat tossed unto the farm daybed, just as I would toss it after coming back from birding - something I often did up there. I love my Tilley hat which gives my eyes great sun protection.

As is typical for me these days, this is a 9x12 on Art Spectrum, and a variety of pastels. I love the colors of some of my new Terry Ludwigs - but they are so soft they eat up all the tooth on the Art Spectrum paper, so have to use the sparingly.
