– Orison Swett Marden
Copyright Beth Parker Art 2013
I know… it’s not new, but I’m behind on my painting. My sign shop has been absolutely insane this winter. I’ve been working six 11-12 hour days a week for a while now. On Sunday, the hubby has stuff for me to do. That means I’m only getting my little hour every morning, between 5 and 6 am to paint. I’m not complaining, though. I am really fortunate to be so busy at work.
When I was in Driggs in 2011, a lady who owned a wonderful little bead shop suggested I go check out Felt. I’m so glad I did! I painted this from the side of the road. I was thrilled to see a tractor out there in the fields! I’m going back this year for more of Felt.
