Finally! Finally the sun came out today and finally I felt like painting something. I've been stuck in a slump for a while and haven't been inspired to do much of anything. Our weather has been cold and rainy for weeks and I haven't been hiking or getting outdoors much at all. Mostly I've been hovering close to the fireplace with some good books.
That's about to change. On Sunday I'm joining 26 other people for a hike and chili cook off at a nearby Boy Scout Camp. Everyone brings something to eat, we set up the crock pots and tables, hike for a couple of hours and come back and warm up to some good food and conversation. I hope it's not supposed to rain on that day!
Somewhere inspiration came to me to paint this little bit of folk art. I worked it up on a piece of scrap paper that already had this nice wash on it. I think it worked out well. Sorry for the wavy paper. I didn't take time to flatten it before scanning.

OMGosh.. this has to be my favorite painting of yours. It would make a great card. What ever inspired it you did an awesome job. We are getting sunshine today its been coming a lot lately. So nice to see. Have fun on that hike. Hoping for no rain.
I like this very much too.
So spring-y, summery, and cheerful.
I think this background is perfect too,,,just right, not too 'done', and really nice gradations.
Great job, Kate!
