This week I managed to do two of my little paintings and with all the great fruits in season, I thought – perfect subjects. These will be going into the August show at the Willows. I am going to have small things on hand, and I really enjoy doing these small studies. I hope to pick up some interesting subjects at the Farmers’ Market tomorrow. I am thinking that I might also be able to get some photos of the market itself to do some small paintings. I am still not very brave about sitting and sketching in public. Will have to overcome that shyness factor one of these days! Maybe if we could get a group together it would be fun. Hmmm. Something to think about – maybe one of our groups would like to do it. I’d have to check with the market management first though.

Tomorrow I am volunteering down at the Farmers’ Market for a couple of hours in the morning. This will be with the Master Gardeners group, to promote the upcoming Hort Week, the annual horticulture conference at the university that is for the community. It is always lots of fun. I think I will catch a couple of the workshops for sure, now that I know I will be in town.

We have had several days of rain finally, and I am very glad I had the chance to weed beforehand. There will be another session required, but not three days worth this time!

Well, back to general cleaning up before the day is done. Nice sun, nice breeze, nice day, finally.
