Late Spring 2011

It's been awhile since my last post. Cold, wet, weather has been the norm here. We've had 2 hot days this spring, where a hint of summer came through, but then the wet, cold, came back. Oh well, it may be that kind of year.

I did get down to this years art walk in downtown Watertown. I painted Plein Air, well kind of. I painted m y normal mountain lake scene outside, which I'll get posted soon, along with other recent works.

I also picked up a used "Shopsmith Mark V" over in Minnesota. I'm looking forward to working with it, and have also turned a bowl which I'll also post. Whether it's painting, woodworking, riding motorcycle, golfing, fishing, it's all good therapy.

I also picked up a Green Mountain Grill. This is a wood pellet, smoker grill. I'm having a lot of fun with that, smoking the meat first, then finishing it off with the grilling. Since I've got this grill, I haven't used my gas grill. I'll share some of my favorite recipes soon.
