I planned a trip to Custer just to enjoy it. No agenda, no rules; just me and my little dog, and my art supplies. How perfect!

| Not what I was expecting! |
|
 |
| It was bitter cold so this one was fast and loose! |
Of course Mother Nature thought she'd pull a fast one on me and decided to rain all day my first day, and then a few inches of snow the second day! The third day was sunny and beautiful in a more typical way but I thoroughly enjoyed the other days also.
I didn't get out and paint nearly as much as I planned due to this weather, but took tons of photos to work from later (in my warm studio!).

| *Really* not what I was hoping for! | |

 |
| Study of Yellow bush, on the final and only sunny day! |
 |
| creekside grasses in the sun on the last day |
 |
| graphite sketch in the car to stay warm |
These little pieces are all 5x7-ish and simply studies for myself, a record of my mini vacation. I would very much like to try this again, but when its not so cold and wet!
