Friday night. Got out of work a little early. Been fighting a persistent head/chest cold lately and felt weary enough to just want to go home. But I knew if I went straight home, I would regret it. It's supposed to rain all weekend and most flowering trees have just hit their spring peak. If I wait until next week, I fear it will be too late.
So on the way home, I swung back around to my morning commute scenery along Minnehaha Parkway and noticed this woman painting. I stopped about a block away and took some tree images and then walked back to her temporary outdoor studio. Once she finished talking to another admirer, I asked her permission to take photographs and she agreed.
The image doesn't do her painting justice. It was absolutely beautiful and very three-dimensional as she was layering on the paint with an artist trowel.
I really enjoyed my brief time wandering around in the park. It took the edge off the work week.
