Painting- FUN!! ...Washing Brushes - Not too bad!!!
What can be more fun than painting? Especially in the fall! This is a photo from the side back of our yard looking back toward the house. Below is a photo of me that Jackie, my husband took without my permission today. I'm painting the trees right behind our house and studio. My studio is upstairs and overlooks the woods. but I had to be outside to feel the light and be eye level with the trees. I have been working outside on this daily at 4PM - but today it was 3 as time changed last night:... It was a pretty day today! Here is Scaredy- my cat today - she always keeps me company! Okay brush washing! Awhile back a friend asked how I washed my brushes and suggested that I blog about it. When I'm outside painting en plein air, I rinse my brushes in the portable brush washer and take it inside to my studio to re-rinse in a large vat of Gamisol that I have or wash them with my cleaner on the road. Sometimes I just use white soap away from home...
