Schoolhouse View
Last summer as I was painting at the old Shenandoah School House in Plymouth, California, I noticed a dog come around the schoolhouse from one of the near by vineyards. He seemed to be on a mission and ducked through an opening under the school house. It was hot so I thought he might be going in to take a nap. A few minutes later the dog appeared with 3 snakes dangling from his mouth. I always look around my painting area for snakes but seeing the dog and his find made me a bit jumpy. Plein air painting has its rewards and it concerns. Painting at the old schoolhouse made for, "A Painting Day".
Side note: Theresa Paden, an artist blogger, has challenged herself to paint 50 horse paintings in 50 days. Today is day 50 and she has all of the paintings available to view on her blog. Theresa is also offering one painting for free and the details on how to win this painting are on her blog. Part of all sales will be donated to the California Coastal Horse Rescue in Ojai .

Joli paysage, tout en douceur...
L'histoire du chien avec les 3 serpents ne me dit pas si votre chien a eu des soucis avec les morsures...

Martinealison, De remerciement autant de pour votre commentaire. Si content vous aimez le petit paysage. Je pensais que le chien serait très concerné des bouchées mais peut-être ces serpents n'étaient pas nuisible. Les chiens de ranch sont assez intelligents ou ils ne durent pas long. Vous améliorer.
Ruth, I always thought the worst part about plein aire painting would be the bugs!
