Celebrating my Wedding Anniversary

Sometimes a painting holds special, personal meaning for the artist.  This is one.  I won't pretend the artwork is anything special, in fact a summer drizzle came along and appeared to add snowflakes to my stormy summer sky.  No matter.  It captures a moment in time for me.  

When I started it was sunny.  I spread my painting stuff out on the hood of the car.  What caught my eye was a turkey vulture soaring with a stormy sky moving in from the west.  Dale and I were out savoring a day out together, celebrating our 50th anniversary.  Our official celebration was last night, but today, June 27, is the actual date of our marriage.  

Fortunately the drizzle was brief.    I could have sought shelter in the car, but it was so delicious standing outside, I chose to stay there.  The sun soon came back to help dry my paper.  

I feel very fortunate that after fifty years we are still exploring nature together and appreciating each other's company.
