Tahoe Weekend

I spent the weekend near Lake Tahoe with some friends and it was amazing. Being surrounded by all of that natural beauty in the comforts of a warm cabin was incredibly uplifting.

Wolfe's Neck Farm

I did this a few weekends ago on a camping trip up at Wolfe's Neck Farm near Freeport, Maine. It was really hard to see the color I was laying down as the sun went down and I was a little frustrated.

I'm going to do more of these, and study more plein air artists. It's really nice to use oils again.

These are my roommates' cats. Sophia is a Siamese and Fargo is a Russian Blue. Sophia just stares at you and doesn't let you pet her, and Fargo is really friendly and has a silent meow. She just opens her mouth and whispers a meow. Fargo is probably the best cat I've ever met.
