...but are made in the shade," says Robert Genn in his newsletter this morning. These are my sentiments exactly! When I am painting outdoors, I always seek shade.

However, making paintings in the shade is not always possible, so some of us use umbrellas of one type or another to shade our palettes and canvases.  | ||

Or we find creative ways to stay out of the sun.

| At the same location, here's Claudia, painting comfortably in her slippers in the shade. Did you notice the ice pack wrapped around her left ankle? At the beginning of our Maine painting expedition, she thought she'd sprained both her ankles when she fell from a ledge. She hadn't; she'd only sprained one. The left one she broke! This she learned after returning home. Her ankle's been in a cast ever since! |

Whatever works is good! It's getting the job done that makes an artist happy.
I'm so excited about the art exhibition the three of us are planning with photographer Lou Zucchi. I invite you to mark your calendar now for October 17-21 when The Maine Attraction will be showing at the Essex Art Association.
