Another trip to City Art in the Vista in Downtown Columbia today. They are giving 25% off art supplies this week. Did I hear a big cheer?? I got some charcoal pencils, two tubes of Daniel Smith watercolor and some Conte crayons.

Randy and his wife are just the nicest most helpful people. They also have a great online site called Artexpress. Shipping is very reasonable.

So what does that have to do with all these skyscapes that I painted this week?? I have been using green Primateks to paint these from my Daniel Smith Sample card.  I got TWO tubes of the Primatek greens today.  Can't wait to use them...love the way they granulate when you paint trees!

Painted in my moleskine!! 

Day 39 - On the Road I-20

Driving home from a fabulous in Columbia with friends. Got up to a beautiful morning - a cool crisp with hints of fall. Rocking on the backporch with our morning cups I said let's go to Columbia.

Off we went first to Cityart in the Vista - a great art store with a two story art gallery with varied enough art to suit anyone's taste. Randy in the art store was super sweet and helpful. Cityart has an online store Art Express with the best fastest shipping I have ever used.

Two of the many paintings at Cityart's Gallery.

Then onto Nonnah's in the Vista for lunch. A long leisurely visit with friends.

My delicious tuna salad at Nonnah's.

Last but not least dinner at Shealy's in Batesburg. We DO LOVE barbecue!!

Home sweet home!!!!!
