Just back from Tahoe. Will post some okay plein aire studies soon. Here is a poem Sienna wrote the night we got into the condo at King's Beach:

Part 1
Here I'm in tahoe away from Home town way accross the city for the nights that pass over the tree tops.

Part 2
Here and there and everywhere cabbins are hidden all over the Home town.

Part 3
landcaster and utah everywhere we go joy fills us with lots and lots of love and careing.

Part 4
Sometimes we even stop to get more joy
it does'nt matter anywhere we go

Worked on this this weekend. Good painting, would have been nicer if it looked like Emma! I really struggled with this one-I am much more comfortable painting sharp shadows and sunlight. Tommorrow at work I will soften the eyebrow and the cheek rolling into the jaw.

Emma is Corinne's younger sister.
