A COOL SHADY SPOT AT TWO MILE HOUSE By Cecelia Lyden

It was another beautiful location and another hot day for plein aire painting. I found a shady spot where the sun never found me and a cool breeze kept me civil. Once again the locale had potential paintings all around us. I liked the way this sunny area with the flowers, bushes and trees was framed by the shed and maple tree. So ,I set up and got to work.
