The summer flew by but I did have a chance to attend Paint the Point in Mineral Point this August. Janet Nelson, my friend and crazily creative artist, and I stayed at an adorable cottage right in the heart of Mineral Point. This was the first time I did a nocturne plein air. Mineral Point has so many beautiful old buildings, many out of local limestone. I’m crazy about painting rocks and stones so I had a lot of options to choose from. I found a wonderful old stone building with a blue door to paint that night. On the last day, I found another beautiful building right across the street with a black door. Both paintings sold along with my first painting of a pastoral scene of a farm in the valley. I’m going back next year!!!
