This weekend I had the honor of participating in Bordentown’s first plein air Paint the Town event. The event was hosted by the prestigious Farnsworth Gallery. Over twenty artists took part in the three day paint out. On Sunday, the paintings were presented by the gallery to the public. It was a joy creating watercolors of historic Bordentown, New Jersey. Working along side such talented people was truly inspiring.

Today’s sin is greed. Despite being perfectly happy and healthy in my apartment, I want an entire house. With a yard, and a garden, and a drawing room (pun intended), and a hot tub, and a bird feeder, and a thousand other things I certainly do not need.

Greedy.

Last night, I attended my last college party ever. One of my closest friends just graduated. This marks the end of an era. To commemorate the occasion, I painted a picture of the table on which I’ve played countless games of Kings, War, Bull, Clever Endeavor, the Drawing Game, and other drinking favorites.
It was a fun time, but, you know what? I’m happy to end that chapter of my life. I was never very good at beer pong.

I think I may like painting portraits of houses more than painting portraits of people. Houses have such visible personality.

In early spring, even the most well kept yards have an unruly look to them. The plants seem to burst from the ground joyfully. The home depicted below caught my eye as I was doing my morning errands. I had to stop and catch its cool yet dynamic, early spring attitude.
