This weekend I did a lot of writing - I think I’m unconsciously doing New Year’s resolutions. So instead of a new painting here is Charlie as Puppy in Repose.

Gorgeous September Saturday - spent the day in an apple orchard, riding a hay ride, drinking apple cider and getting lots of afternoon sunshine.
