a little inspiration

It has been a truly gorgeous day outside.

I was finally able to get out and enjoy it this afternoon. Chloe and I went for a nice long walk in one of the parks close to our house.

We've been having some serious wind here, and it's knocking down lots of leaves, branches and pine cones. I found these little gems along the way. I may just have to paint them...

 I also started a new painting today. I like how it's going so far.

Painting in the works!
