The Jefferson Deck at Summit Point, West Virginia by Linda Young Watercolors

I'm glad I started recording adventures in my painting journal; a picture sometimes tells a thousand words. Sometimes, not a word.


While my husband prepared to race around the Jefferson Circuit track in his Formula Vee racecar (see that off to the left side of the gazebo), I did a little plein air painting while I drank some coffee on the deck. It was a very warm morning; the sunlight just peeked through the trees onto the deck and into the gazebo.  The sweet scent and sight of honeysuckle was all around me.

It was a fun weekend with friends and racers.  For about five minutes, dear husb. set a new track record until the younger guys took control!  (Oh the joys and fearlessness of youth!)  Still, John recorded the fastest time ever since he started racing on that track.  We are proud of that accomplishment.

Congrats John and Thanks be to God, for a beautiful weekend and safe trip home.
