Lancaster






Wow. It's a lot tougher to get wifi then it seems. So there haven't been as many updates lately but now it's time to catch up. Afterwards we left the coffee shop and went to scope out a great location in Lancaster to do some plein-air painting. We ended up on an empty lot surrounded by train tracks. We were on the grounds of what used to be the Armstrong factory. Eric began painting the scenery and I worked on my own project. That became our afternoon painting spot for three days straight.

The next morning we went for a drive through Amish country looking for a good place to work. The farm land was beautiful. Everything was incredibly manicured and created a very picturesque environment. We took some pictures but ended up working at Eric's old teacher, Fred Roger's house which was the perfect place to work. We spent the afternoon painting in his yard, had a break for some hotdogs off the grill then ended the day with a critique.

The rest of the trip was spent painting in Eric's dad's back yard and at the Armstrong factory. We saw old friends and family (new to me) ate good food and got work done. You couldn't really ask for any more.
