Ok, so I heard of a possible fishing hole on campus. A little pond that was up above the equine unit. I'm always on the lookout for a place to take the kids fishing, and had to check this out. I decided to take my travel watercolor kit with me (yes, I keep it at work). I knew from looking on Google Earth that there might be some great views of San Luis from up there and I might be able to make a nice painting. Well, I got up there and, yes, there is a nice little pond. I found some fish in it, and yes, I plan on taking the kids. Also, I found some horses not too far away and decided to give a try at painting them. Now, I've never painted horses (or drawn them for that matter) before. So I know this painting isn't all that great. But what I really enjoyed was sitting on the side of the pont on a rock at the shore. I dipped my watercup into the pond and used that for my water. I was tickled to just be sitting there out side, with seemingly nothing around but a few horses, and painting whatever I thought I could. It was truly wonderful. And whats more, I could walk there, paint this picture and be back to my office within an hour. Im going back tomorrow, perhaps I'll take my camera so you can all see what I am talking about.
