I left this painting as a thank you to my gracious host, Jo Mackenzie,
her art blog HERE, who offered me her mother's summer house
for my workshop painting visit to Vermont. It was
a treat to get to know Jo and see her studio,
having looked at her blog for years.

The last class oil demo for Susan Abbott's workshop was selected
so that we'd all be in the cool shade during the heat spell.

I wish I'd recorded Susan's narration as she painted so that
I could count the number of times she said, "Car." Lots.

It was an important element in her composition.

Who's car is that? Susan didn't paint in the license plate.
If she had you'd be reading, "Maine ICELAND combination".
What a sneaky way to sell a painting.
