Barbara prefers to work out of doors, so I contacted my friends Marshall and Jo, who have a vineyard - and we had a location (weather permitting). Despite two weeks of dreadful weather, the day dawned clear and sunny - and we were all set for a paint and shoot.

We worked in Jo's beautiful, well-lit barn. After much on-site discussion, the detailed plan emerged "I'll start with brown here, you start with green there, and we'll see what happens."

Well - this is what did happen.
(A few extra colors sneaked in along the way.)

A new plan emerged then. "We'd better take some photos, just in case ...".

A brief period of coffee drinking and cake eating followed, from which emerged the plan to do some "dot pictures" in the manner of the central desert aborigines.
