Description
This was the second day of the annual International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) Worldwide Paint Out. The tragic events that occurred on September 11 many years ago changed the world. IPAP began as a direct response to 911. I tend to be a solitary artist but am a Charter Member of this group dedicated to creativity and looking for something positive out of tragedy. On the second weekend of September 2002, the first 1st Worldwide Paint Out was held to honour those lost on 911. I have participated every year ever since.
year the International Plein Air Painters Worldwide Paint Out has been held the second weekend of September to honor those lost on 911.
Cirrus clouds were thickening up on the southwestern horizon foretelling of the rain that would fall overnight. As the saying goes, "cirrostratus coming at us" accurately describes the approach of the warm conveyor belt of a mid-latitude weather system.
There was still a window of time during the early afternoon to revisit the sunflowers in the front garden. I continued rotating cyclonically around the tower of blooms just as I had the previous day. I wished to investigate the sunflowers from every angle.
There were several small bumblebees working the sunflower blooms. Sadly, I did not see any honey bees.
The afternoon sun got very hot! It became far too hot for painting but not too balmy for swimming. I went and followed the sage advice that I am often given, and jumped in the lake.
