April in Paris*

.....figured i'd keep titling my blogs this month with some well known songs with  'April' in them. There are many, it seems. Good thing I didn't try this in February; no one  writes songs about February, at least that I know of. Maybe they do in South America. 

Anyway, not many lyrics more beautiful than this...

"April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees...."

o.k, better make this blog official with some art talk......

camera still not functioning....so here's another older plein air painting......this one showing  the old red pullman car which was recently hauled away from the Marietta  square area.  Anything red, it seems, cries out to be painted.  

forthcoming....breathtaking adventure stories from upcoming plein air festivals...

also.....another pitch for my painting class.....6 week session starts May 14th at Art School in Sandy Springs......join us!
And.....don't forget....Marietta Plein Air Class starts April 14th....I think a few spots still open.....but hurry....(see: marietta cobb musuem of art website)
