Today I set out to go plein air painting and almost let myself get pulled away by the issues of the day. Instead of giving up I pushed on until I regrouped and made the decision to go to a familiar place that has never disappointed me. Placerita Nature Center is being remodeled, but even with so much in disarray, I could hear all the sounds of nature, the red-tail hawk, the wind, the children playing in the stream. All the while I am deep in my own world trying my hardest to get this picture right.
Sometimes the struggles lend the best rewards.
Afterwards while sitting on the ledge of my old blue Aerostar having my lunch, I felt a release from all the pressures, all the expectations. I hid away in my own town beneath the trees and left the world carry on without me.
