I'm so very grateful to be able to spend some time here at the Lillian Smith Center again this October. I was here about a year ago and had quite a productive time. I've returned a couple of times since for shorter periods and gotten some things done.
This time I have a goal in mind that I'm not talking about too much yet. And in the other part of the time here I'm walking in the woods and finding things to draw and paint.
Here are a few of my adventures so far:
I started off this morning with a walk to the Common Room building and onto the deck at the back to take this selfie with Screamer Mountain reflected in the windows:
Later today I took a walk to the woods and the trails that the Piedmont College students have so wonderfully marked.
And here I am at one of my favorite spots on the woods trails... the giant white pine tree that's near the once-upon-a-time pool for the girls camp, Laurel Falls, that was here at the Center.
I say hello to it every time I walk past and today decided to try a selfie with the tree... ask me how long it's taken to get the leaf litter out of my lighting connector (if I have been successful at all!)
Sitting on the porch at my cottage is always a great thing... this was yesterday afternoon when the sun was shining. It was rainy today...still a great porch time but no photos.
And, I always love to indulge in drawing while I'm here. These are with earth pigment and from a pine cones I found in the yard in the past couple of days.
More days here to come. Maybe another post before I leave.
