Painting outside

Today I went outside to paint with Diana, who is at her house here with some friends.  I haven't painted outside for a long time and I really enjoyed it.  I sat on the sidewalk, or where a sidewalk would be, looking toward these houses.  The laundry is what attracted me, and the lupine, which is in its Springtime glory.    I had a good time and I like the resulting painting, even though it is a bit over-worked.

I am putting this picture here despite my big plans for a separate blog for my paintings.  I spent over an hour again this morning trying to ad a link to it on this blog, but I gave up. I will have to abandon the idea if I can't somehow figure it out soon.  I know it's not that difficult, but the vocabulary in the directions is Greek to me.....I don't know how to fill in the required information.  It's so hard to admit that using a computer beyond the very basics is over my head.  As we used to say in the 60's.....Bummer.
