A morning to plein
air paint is always a good
way to spend my time

Our plein air painting group had a planned meet-up in front of the Yuma Art Center for 10 AM. I got myself ready to go and zoomed off down the interstate so as not to be late. I parked behind the Art Center, remembering the winter when a man was hired to paint the back of the building. The lines and colours still stand out to me. 

I walked onto Main Street with my gear. I stopped in front of the Center to wait for the group to come in. I think we were 7 in total. 

Today, we each picked our own spot and got busy. I chose a shady location on the east side of the street looking across the roundabout at the fountain. I could see one of our member on the far side of the fountain from me. I had a nice chat with a fellow who had two small dogs on a leash. I had to fend off some pigeons at one point, but I got one small, pitiful watercolor completed before I thought I should pack up to go home for lunch.

I'm home with my feet up and hope to get some work done on my quilt in progress.
