I knew they would be doing watercolors and acrylics. "Do you mind if I use oils?" They didn't mind at all, and so this afternoon, I hoicked myself off to the studio to join them, cleaned my filthy work table, and set out a palette of cobalt blue, cadmium red light, cadmium red medium, cadmium yellow medium, and titanium white.
"The theme is 'cactus,'" I was told. Fine. Cactus it is. Howabout cactus in Red Rock Country?
Oh, yes, and every time I accidentally got my hand in my oil paint, we had a ... sip. (*SIP*) This made for a very agreeable afternoon, and since we were in the garage studio, my solvents and paints did not bother anyone at all. This is the result:

It's always fun to see what you can do with a limited palette. Very nice!
I love it!! It probably helps that I really want to go see the great American west and its deserts -- I tell my best friend about it all the time, and she keeps trying to get me to take a road trip with her.
Painting parties are all the rage in Virginia. Everyone here loves them and posts their work on social media.
