This post will be short and sweet. Or maybe just short. I'm off in a little while to the big city of Ben Wheeler to deliver several paintings, including the one above, to be delivered to Maine. In case you're unfamiliar with Ben Wheeler...I'm not sure it even qualifies as a small town. To say that Ben Wheeler is a big city is akin to saying that Kim Kardashian is an intensely private and unassuming person.

I wish that I could be in Maine right now. It's only June and the temperature is in the upper 90s. As I've already mentioned...I do not enjoy sweating. No plein air painting for a while. Unless I do it at 2 a.m. I suppose I'll have to resort to what I think of as "pretend plein air painting", which entails standing at the easel in the air-conditioned comfort of my studio, imagining that I'm outdoors. It doesn't really work very well. I never actually lose sight of the fact that I am, in fact, standing in my studio.

Kim Kardashian...now I'm thinking about her. It's like having "the song that never ends" or "B-I-N-G-O" stuck in your head. And now I have both songs AND Kim Kardashian stuck in my head. It's hard to be me.
