I'm inviting you to join me on next Tuesday evening, July 20, 6-9 pm and spend some time painting and/or drawing in the meadow, next to the HighPoint pond and all the ducks, barn swallows, cedar waxwings, goldfinches, dragon flies and clovers and grasses, and reflections in the water and fresh air. And it's FREE. It's accessible to everyone...nice level walks, sloping meadows and viewpoints everywhere. Tame, safe, and very pretty.
One of my students, Engrid, mentioned to me that she was noticing all the different lovely shapes of the meadow grasses.....the bobbing plumes, the delicate patterns of the crisscrossing blades and stems. Think about it. Right in front of our eyes! We must draw and paint them! And bring your camera too....
Bring what you need for creating, composing or just getting composed, and come sit in the grass with me. I won't be teaching or even talking, for that matter....just sitting in a peaceful little meadow in the middle of the city with my watercolors and pen.
The meadows of the PNW are miraculous to this very Eastern Washingtonian, (Pomeroy Washington in Garfield County, to be exact). Not only are they lush and full of clovers and wildflowers, but THERE ARE NO RATTLESNAKES!
Let's say hello to summer....it's on the wane already and we'll need to fix it in our hearts to help us brave the rains of coming winter. And, of course, if it does rain on the 2oth, all bets are off.
And, by the way, whoever sent me that case of beer via FedEx (with no message).....A big thankyou! Manna from heaven. Who needs roses. (I have my own)
