I drove to the nearest big town yesterday to buy ink and food and had to make a detour at the rest stop, after waiting for almost 40 minutes for road construction! It's a two lane highway, over the mountain, and they've been working on the road, straightening out some of the switch back turns, so that big rigs can drive back and forth from the coast. I didn't mind the turns and they say it's only going to cut the time by 10 minutes. All was calm, though, after I stopped and took in this beautiful view of Whiskeytown Lake. It looks different every time I see it, and is always spectacular! It would be nice to live on the lake and paint it everyday with the changing light. The views are best as you drive by at 60 mph...I can't figure out how to stop and get a good shot without risking my life on that dangerous highway! This will have to do.
Have a great weekend!
What will you be doing to kick off the summer?

I think your painting of the poppies is just beautiful as is! I always wanted to grow them but never had good luck with tall flowers (they always fall over!).
It's nice to hear you enjoyed the scenery while others were probably pounding their steering wheels!
Some dive into summer with garden clean up and just seems so happy to be outdoors. I'd like to twitch my nose and have all the dirty work done so I can plant flowers! ;-D
XO,

I love the way the poppies look as well. It's a beautiful painting and I shared it to Pinterst.
Thank you so much Enzie!
I happen to love poppies, great painting. I can't seen to get them to grow. No green thumb here. I think I just buy plants that are ready for death. yvonne
