Late March

After a week or so of beautiful, warm weather met three friends in Bethany Beach for a weekend of painting and camaraderie. Good food, good talk and the weather? Turned cold and gray, which was actually not so bad for painting....the gray part. The cold, well, I wore most everything I'd brought all at once!

The view just from the cottage was wonderful. Sunday morning was looking at some sketches that Whistler had done that I always admired for their economy of effort but not bravura. With those in mind, not too tough a model to follow, I set up. This little sketch was of two who braved the blustery weather, I opted to paint out the window, out of the wind and near coffee.
