Somervell County Courthouse

Somervell County Courthouse
8 x 10
oil on canvas
$100
This Saturday I participated in a paintout in Glen Rose. It was a very foggy morning on the drive down but it turned out to be a great day for painting. Many  of my friends participated including Sheri Jones, Maryann Brummer, Sabine Higgins, Janice Weaver, Debob Jacob, Steve Miller, Chase Almond, Vickie Guthrie, and many others. We painted in an area around the square and along the river. Debob won first place, Chase won second, and Steve won third. Sheri sold two paintings. Glen Rose has so many painting opportunities and I really look forward to returning to paint there in the future.
