I'm packing for vacation!

I really thought I'd get to paint today, but I am doing running around trying to get packed.  My husband and I are leaving for two weeks vacation in the morning.  We'll be visiting Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone Park, among other places.  I won't be painting, but I'm taking a sketchbook.

Our temperature hit 110 degrees this week.  The weather in Yellowstone show highs around 60 and lows below freezing at night.  I'll be doing some serious layering!

I'm taking my I-Pad,  so I may get a little time to visit your blogs.  Keep painting!  See you in two weeks!

  11. I tried to leave comments on your paintings, but they were blocked, and I couldn't send an email. I still can't send an email, but wanted you to know why I haven't been leaving comments.
