Once in a lifetime

Rm 36 at JH Adams Inn, approx. 7x10" watercolor

Last week I participated in Peidmont Plein Air 2014, an inaugural juried paint out in High Point, North Carolina that went on for four days. The first night, I stayed up and painted my room at JH Adams Inn. Having been generously treated to dinner at the five-star Hampton’s Restaurant, by fellow plein air painters Jim Carson and Sandi Botstein; then landing in this lavish room, Talking Heads’ “Once in a Lifetime” 80’s lyrics went through my head. “How did I get here?,” I had to ask myself.
