I had the most amazing time in the outer banks last weekend.

About 35 artists gathered under the direction of Jane Filer to paint, learn and mingle.

Jane is a wonderful artist with a great love of her craft and life. I am so inspired. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded just how lucky you are to be an artist. I made quite a few new friends, so I hope to go again next year.

First painting, still in the works

Second painting. This is from a photo taken along 85 South. I just love how the sky is opening up after the storm.

Finished! Breaking Storm 20x24

Have a great weekend!
