Ask me how I came upon this notion! I&#8217;m tempted to dip the ends of all my brushes in safety yellow or blaze orange just for ease of finding. And no, I didn&#8217;t find the brush I dropped and I spent too much time looking. If it turns up in the corner of a bag or something it will be a freakin&#8217; miracle.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d headed over to The Clark for a 9 AM curator-led gallery walk of the Picasso print exhibit. That was very interesting and informative. I&#8217;ll go back some other early morning to go through again and look at everything with some new ideas. Afterwards, I enjoyed the rest of my coffee and headed up toward the back hill. It was hard to pick a view &#8211; there were great clouds in all directions. I took my roll-up stool with me because it poured last night. That was a good decision, unlike the green-handled brush. At least it wasn&#8217;t one of my new brushes &#8211; I&#8217;d still be there looking.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/34791306@N00\/albums\/72157683698203364\" title=\"clouds 18 july 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4309\/35626585860_b8bb24c45a.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"clouds 18 july 2017\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/18julywc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/18julywc.jpg\" title=\"today's watercolor\" width=\"500\" height=\"329\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/18julywc.jpg 3859w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/18julywc-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/18julywc-600x395.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/18julywc-1024x674.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/earlymornclark.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/earlymornclark.jpg\" title=\"Before opening, at The Clark\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/earlymornclark.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/earlymornclark-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/earlymornclark-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quiltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/earlymornclark-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re painting en plein air, your brushes should not be grass green.
