Thanks, Barbara.

I think we often overlook subjects like this--too often I hear artists say they can't think of anything to paint, but beauty is out there, everywhere. I've painted the view from my bedroom window over and over, as well...Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904156643837518494.post-79433556915836366052012-11-23T05:37:50.407-06:002012-11-23T05:37:50.407-06:00Happy Thanksgiving!
