Wow...where has the summer gone?  The past few weeks have been filled with travel...and a few attempts at plein air painting (aka painting outside).

I continue my personal struggle with producing the quality of landscape paintings I hope to one day achieve.  The battle continued while traveling 4500 miles to the Midwest to pick up our RV, see family in Iowa and Wisconsin, and explore the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  

We are almost home and had a blast...even though the paintings were few and far between, I share them herein. I'm thankful for the safe journey and am looking forward to another 30in30 Challenge starting Sept. 1st.   (Yikes!)
