My husband has recently been called as pastor at the New North Church in Hinhgam, MA. Driving up to church with him leaves me an hour to read, sketch, walk, even grade quizzes before the service starts. Here is a sketch from the car during my cherished hour. As always, thanks for looking.
The theme for Girls Just Wanna Paint in April was "white". I debated setting up a white still life, painting boats, clouds, laundry.... or something or one named "White". Each Tuesday I take my teen daughter to an evening college class, and spend my time in the nearby library grading my math students' tests and quizzes or lesson planning for the 3 hours. This past week, I decided to paint. As we drove to the college-class destination, I had her look up "white" in the vicinity of the college. She found White Road, White Street, Grumpy White's Bar.. intriguing. I the end, I decided to do a little exploring after I dropped her off. I found lovely neighborhoods I had never seen, and decided to plant myself next to an interesting intersection where this lovely bungalow sat across the street, caught in the late afternoon sun. I painted from my car, amid the hubbub of the neighborhood, children on bikes, commuters walking home, joggers, walkers, mailboxes being opened, pizza delivery men coming and going... and I listened to NPR while I painted. Great way to spend some time. I love evenings in the spring. Thanks for looking.
