Participating in the Gettyburg Festival Plein Air Event this week.
Here are three out of my first five works. I think I'll switch to watercolor or creative drawings on paper for the last half of the week. Last evening I painted by the Copse of Trees on the Battlefield and it felt a little spooky. It was super quite and I heard footsteps coming up behind me several times and then stop. Most times it was tourists admiring my work but one time I turned and no one was there. Do ghosts enjoy painting too? There is always someone or something looking over my shoulder. Just another interesting experience while out plein air painting.

I don't believe in ghosts Larry, but I think just about anyone would enjoy watching you work. It sounds like you are having a fun and productive time in Gettysburg. Keep posting!

Larry, I believe the spirits are all around us and when painting at Gettysburg last year, they were in my thoughts as I painted. Real or not my paintings were influenced by them, especially the one I did at Plum Run.
I think those ghosts must have liked these paintings for sure. I know I do.
