Plein Air Kalamazoo

Today I spent time sitting on the sidewalk happily painting away with my watercolors.  This cute new cafe caught my eye with the flowers and bicycle looking so very French!  In the window a maniquin was dressed in a cupcake paper dress...very cute.
 
Although I broke my water spritzer, wrestled with the easel (which didn't work for watercolor), hated the paper I had chosen, and more excuses...the owner of the store loved it and bought the painting!!  So a very good day indeed.
I am also talking with her about doing an Art Hop show next summer displaying my landscape collages. 
 
Rain had been predicted, which was why I used watercolors,  and began to fall about 2..so I called it a day.
 
Our little group of painters met for refreshments and discussion at 3 and talked of next year's event, possibly more into evening.  Many ideas were tossed around but all of us agreed that it was a great way to spend the day!!
