“I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.”
– Julia Cameron
Chinese Geese Arts Council – Watercolor
“We are the Chinese Geese Arts Council. The thing we like best about spring is our first plein air location scouting trip. We just love gadding about in the woods together. Do geese get poison ivy?” 
This little ATC went to Kitty in the Netherlands. I have only been plein air painting a few times. I have to admit, I wasn’t very good about painting what I saw. When I started painting what I wanted to paint, influenced by what I saw, it went much better. Does that make sense?
