​The ​Catalpa Tree is just stunning when the flowers are in bloom and have painted them into a 5’ x 6’ oil on canvas.

I perched my easel on a wooded ridge trail overlooking the river through the trees below.  This made for a lovely spot to do an acrylic on canvas.  Working for almost an hour, I decided to take a break and sit  down on a fallen tree trunk, taking a minute first to look around for any creepy crawling bugs.🕷🕸  But to my surprise, a nest of angry ants came out from the tree only to bite my legs, sending me to jump forward then stumbling into my easel and trays full of wet paint. 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
