MARLA SMITH left a comment for Cindy Carrillo"Hi Cindy, thanks for comments, and yes, still pretty nice up here where I live......in fact, it's just right for painting!! Been working hard on the Phippen Western Art Show here in Prescott over Memorial Day week-end....and not having much…"
I truly am blessed that I live on a ranch where I can jump on my ATV, with my pack, head off and go paint any number of subjects within a few miles of my house. With this kind of opprtunity, I should be out there everyday, right? Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't...You never know what may come up to blind-side you when you live on a ranch.....but I do try to get out often, I know that painting on site, despite, the wind, bugs, dust or whatever, has greatly improved my work, and really made a difference in what I think about when working in the studio.
