A lovely day for plein air painting--sunny, crisp,
beautiful colors and landscape--but not wihtout its hazards. I've had a number
of unusual, if not uncomfortable, plein air experiences-acorns dropping on my
head like mini bombs, canvases blowing off my easel, a group of cattle walking
toward me, as I was painting the rest of the herd from, what I thought was a
safe distance away.
But Thursday's paintout at a nursery across from
Vivian's charming house provided another first. To make room for the other
artists' cars, I pulled up close to a fence on my left [ driver's side], off the
narrow dirt road. Anxious to start painting, I flung open the door and pulled
out my stuff. Vivian pulled up moments later and yelled to me to be careful
of the fence--it's electrified-it won't kill you, just give you a
shock-Yikes--tazed on a plein air paintout. I was very careful getting back in
the car.PS Thank you Vivian for inviting us and for your hospitality--ginger peach hot tea and pecan pie--YUM!
