A few
weekends ago, I arrived to find someone leaning against my horse fence on
Route One and snapping a few photos of the pasture view across to the Inverness
Ridge. It was an artist who was scoping
out a place for her collective, the BayWood Artists, to meet for a day of
plein-air painting in preparation for their next Point Reyes National Seashore
Association exhibition. I said, “Certainly, I’m happy to have you paint
here.” What a treat for me!
Two weeks
later she set up her easel and paints, and before long the horses came by to
see what was up. One of them was particularly persistent, nuzzling against her,
threatening to sample the oils on her palette, and I, in turn, took a few photos of the two
of them. She said it was one of her happiest
moments painting. Excellent!
