Here are some of the beautiful places Susan Abbott took us to paint.

We finished the workshop today with a final critique. We pinned our paintings on her studio wall to study them.

i am so glad I came to Vermont to attend this workshop. I learned so much about painting outdoors using an easel. I had no idea how beautiful rural Vermont was going to be and how special it would be for a city girl like me to stay on a farm. The other day I sat down under an apple tree to sit in the shade and paint. I was so surprised when the apples spontaneously fell from the tree. I moved out from under the tree to avoid getting smacked in the head by a falling apple. I should have known about this apple falling phenomena much earlier in my life I think.
