Yesterday I was out plein air painting in Setauket. I was sitting by the water painting the pond, the bridge and the forsythia bush. A man came over and asked if he could take my photo and I said yes. People have asked to take photos of me painting before. Anyway, he goes to his car and comes back with this big camera with a huge lens and starts snapping away. Finally I asked him if he was a professional photographer and he said he works for Newsday which is one of the big Long Island & NY newspapers. He took my name and told me that my photo might be in the paper today.
How cool Joan! You deserve the attention, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan. Awesome painting. I tried going to see your photo and there is one there but it's blurred over with another sign in page. Don't have access to it so couldn't view it well. It looks great though.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. A great shot. Love the painting.
ReplyDeleteOh and no snow.:))
