Day Six: Heritage Tree Part Two


Last year around this time I painted this Heritage Tree as part of the Urban Sketchers sketch hunt. I wasn't totally satisfied with that piece so with the beautiful day today, I took another swing at it. I feel like this one is an improvement. ***April Fools, I actually did this one on 4/5/20***

The rest of my day was full of head winds and hills... my favorite, but also an amazing dish of crabcakes and later a fabulous Lobster Newburg... no calorie counting for me!!! I had a great time hanging out with Ms. Bethany Plissy and the very soft bed in her sister's house. So far so good. Oh, and Milage count: Day One: 67.5 miles Day Two: 48.5 miles Total: 116 Miles

So this isn’t the journal entry for today but it looks really similar so here you are. There’s a neighbor of mine that is giving away flowers from her garden and after I took one vase full I made this painting as a thank you. I love that people are so naturally good.
