Orchard Ladder

 

 

Grandpa's old wooden orchard ladder

comes in handy for harvesting the fruit higher up in the tree,  

that can't be picked easily from the ground.

​Another 'backyard' plein air painting.

A branch holds a lovely butter fly

Dragonfly in Amber Leaves

Dreaming Nature: Dragonfly in amber leaves.
First in a series for Leslie Saeta's
Thirty paintings in thirty days challenge.

The theme I have chosen "Dreaming Nature" was inspired
by a saying of Paul Gaugin
"Seek art in nature by dreaming in the presence of it."
The challenge  to use one theme for thirty painting
is daunting to say the least.
I hope it will evolve as the month goes by,
so that the paintings don't get stale.
We shall see!
