I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. Life sometimes gets in the way! I will try to post more often :)
I just finished with the Stem's Plein Air Festival here in Kansas City. This spring has been plagued with rain and thunderstorms, plus a few tornadoes. One morning I was painting the little blue garden shed at the Arboretum. The weather was overcast, and it started to sprinkle lightly. Most of the other artists packed up and left. I thought to myself..... Now a plein air artist should be prepared to paint in any weather.... so I smugly put up my umbrella and continued to paint. About 15 minutes later the heaven's opened up and it started to pour.... and then the tornado sirens started to blare. I was fighting my umbrella, while tyring to get all of my gear stored away. My paint bag was filling with water, my umbrella was blowing across the garden... and I was a mess. By the time I got everything together.... I could not find anyone! Finally I found someone running through the parking lot, and followed them to a tornado shelter. That is where the other artists were.... snug and dry! I was soaked.... you
