Woohoo! Just got back from my road trip - got two paintings done today; it was fabulous. Just great to get out onto the road, crank up the music and put the shades on. Landscape was fabulous. Beautiful rolling hills and all the different shades of prairie at harvest. Can't wait to do it again. Planning to go again next week. Think I'll head towards the mountains this time.
Healthiest and most uplifting post I've read in a while!

Childish? Yes maybe. But I don't really care. I wanted to paint and that's what I did.
You didn't want him to come! Period. Petty? No. Childish? No. You wanted to paint -alone - and that's what you did! Brava! Peace,
