It's my first day back to work after our trip, I can't believe we were hardly gone a week, it feels like so much longer! I saw 4 new states, both Dakotas, Nebraska, and Wyoming...lots of wheat, and corn, antelope, deer, barns, and cows. I'm looking through my photos, lots to paint! I'm excited.

Here's a shot of my new studio! I painted there today :) There's an amazing breeze that comes through that window, so I'll never get lightheaded from paint fumes...
