And They're Off!




This is really happening! The Georgian Bay trip is underway! We met at the studio yesterday and packed up Jackie's car Tetris-style. The girls left this morning at 6:00, audio books waiting in the wings, and began their journey east. I sent a text this morning and Bridget is very excited about all of the cows they have already seen! (See her below link and art-work to understand why.) I will meet them in two weeks. I can hardly wait to see the paintings and sketches they do in the days before I arrive. It is so exciting! I have sent a bin of materials with them including my oil paints which I cannot carry-on or check-in on my flights. How do plein air painters travel? Can you get special permission? I didn't look further into it because there was no need, but it does make me wonder. There must be a way around it. Anyway, in the meantime I will keep painting with my acrylics and then bring them with me when I go on October 7th (they are allowed on flights).
