My husband and I have lived in our RV for 8 winters. We're currently in the process of getting rid of our RV and going back home to sell our house and downsize. We're on an exciting adventure because we honestly don't have any definite plans of where we'll live when the house sells!Carol @ The Red Painted Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491459938837000975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859127859892440317.post-23302522383813595342013-03-28T13:56:21.566-05:002013-03-28T13:56:21.566-05:00Beautiful work!

I love the colors you used. <br /><br /> It sounds like we have a lot in common; flea markets, quaint shops, and shopping in general, RVing, and dogs--our Shih Tzu passed away two years ago (we still have a Mini Schnauzer and a Boston Terrier). We plan to get another Shih Tzu eventually and I have been thinking about naming her Molly when we do! In any event, I'm following your blog now, and look forward to reading your posts.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day!<br />D~~~~ Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985619031226276443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859127859892440317.post-48442619970600097922013-03-27T22:41:54.583-05:002013-03-27T22:41:54.583-05:00I loved reading your story, Carol...and the fact y...I loved reading your story, Carol...and the fact you travel around in an RV sounds such fun. Do you meet many artists on the road? I hear about a growing number of us "boomers" who are RVing it and making art. Sounds tempting. And with a clean medium like watercolor, very doable. Your red fox is breathtaking, and all of your paintings reveal your love of the craft.
