                                                                  0 Comments
                                                                   
                                                                  Picture
                                                                  I proved I have overcome decades of ill health and injury and reclaimed my fitness by bush walking to the Pinnacle today, in the Grampians.  

                                                                  I just missed a group of artists painting en plein air (in the open air), it would have been great to see them. Confront myself with what I once had the courage to do and did well.

                                                                  Today would have been a great time to paint outdoors, it was slightly overcast, not too hot and mid week, not too many people around, much easier to paint without too many on lookers.

                                                                  Privacy is not easy to achieve when you are painting, en plein air.  
                                                                  I think I would prefer to create in private, like a hermit and only come out in public to exhibit or teach my art.  Sneaking away, up a hill on a quiet bush trail, taking just a small kit of equipment, using the landscape itself as seating, far away from people, is my favorite on site painting location.


                                                                  Picture
                                                                  It is only now, that I have outlived my mum in actual age that I can totally free myself from feeling a twang of guilt when I disregard as I often do, all those instructions I was given as a child that no longer serve me well. lol,  Reg says his mum would have said exactly the same thing.  Lol J.  Great to be older than your mum got to and feel OK about disregarding her advice on the basis of, ‘well  mum, look at me know, I’m still going strong so I must be doing something right’ J, I think she would be pleased.
