Artistry


Friday night.  Got out of work a little early.  Been fighting a persistent head/chest cold lately and felt weary enough to just want to go home.  But I knew if I went straight home, I would regret it.  It's supposed to rain all weekend and most flowering trees have just hit their spring peak.  If I wait until next week, I fear it will be too late.

So on the way home, I swung back around to my morning commute scenery along Minnehaha Parkway and noticed this woman painting.  I stopped about a block away and took some tree images and then walked back to her temporary outdoor studio.  Once she finished talking to another admirer, I asked her permission to take photographs and she agreed. 

The  image doesn't do her painting justice.  It was absolutely beautiful and very three-dimensional as she was layering on the paint with an artist trowel. 

I really enjoyed my brief time wandering around in the park.  It took the edge off the work week.
