Well I'm back posting after a short break.  Took time off painting for reflection.  Now I'm back painting and as soon as I can get the camera to work with my computer I will post my new work. 
Germaine and I are going to the Flathead next week to paint in the Hockaday's Paint Out and auction.  The auction will be at the Hockaday on the 23rd.  It should be lots of fun.  I didn't make it into the show again so will be there as support for her.  I enjoyed accompanying her last year and didn't have the strain of completing a piece for the auction.  I'm concerned for her this time as she has fractured her foot and might not be able to paint.  Anybody that paints outside knows it's very physical and very hard work.  If we go it definitely will be difficult for her.  She's tough and has really worked hard on her painting - she is painting at a whole new level.  I hope she makes it.
