Overcast days and the beginning of summer around the corner. Libby Smith and I continue to get out to paint on mondays and I'm also catching up in the studio. 
Spring wildflowers are gone, but the paintings remain as a nice reminder of places I've been fortunate enough to visit.

The annual SCAPE gaviota coast show at the Bacara is this weekend. Karl Dempwolf is juror and I'm in charge of hanging - it's always a fun show and a good cause.
