A sunny day for painting
Yesterday was a perfect Summer day for plein air painting. Taking the opportunity, since the forecasters reckon it will rain later this week, I decided to go back to Arlington Court. I love my Volunteering, what a great way of being there for visitors, we chat, laugh and I get the chance to inform them about Arlington. It's a Win Win for everyone. Plus the painting went well (between talking) and I still have it In-progress for the next visit. Fingers crossed the weather will be good on that occasion, I need the light right.

The weather is so changeable right now, we had the hottest day of the year last Friday and today is very windy and chilly. I'm certain you are a great asset to Arlington Court and deservedly so.
Eileen, down here it’s sunny one day, dark clouds and pouring the following day! As with you, it’s chilly. I do hope Arlington like me there painting. Visitors often stop to chat. I think they’re surprised I do that, but as a volunteer it is important to engage with people, they visibly relax and talk about all kinds of things. Yesterday there was a family and the two little kids kept coming back to see the painting. They thought the left part of the house was grey, and I told them to go and look for the different coloured bricks. Off they went and came back so pleased with themselves to have seen purple, yellow and blue ones ( all depends on the light of course, but I didn’t tell them that, they’ll learn one day ).
How could you not love being in that setting! I miss the 'Gold Coast' of Long Island. I loved to just sit and enjoy the gardens and lawns of the long gone rich and famous.....sigh.....(all the fun and enjoyment and none of the responsibility..... ;)
Loving this location for painting! Wonderful Post! Have a great day!
