One of our favorite go-to parks to take our pups since we moved to Indiana is W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park. I am not sure how many times we have been to this park- but its trails are so welcoming that we keep going back and it has become almost a weekly tradition. Lately I have been practicing some landscape work- not my usual subject matter, but it is too beautiful around here to not start painting some landscapes too.
