This is for all those artists who like the feel of the sun on their face and the wind in their hair while they're painting......
(which sure ain't my idea of a good time!)

The Plein Air Painter's Song
If you go out in the woods today, you'd better not go alone.
Mosquitos and snakes in the woods today, it’s safer to stay at home.
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They’ll mix their paints there just as they please.
Today's the day the artists will have their paint-out.
[CHORUS]
Paint out time for all of them,
The plein air painters are having a lovely time today.
Watch them catch their canvasses
Before the wind has a chance to blow them all away.
See them wave their brushes about.
They love to mix their paints and never have any cares.
At six o'clock they’ll pack up their gear and head on home to bed
Because they're tired little artists now.
If you go out in the woods today you're sure to have lots of fun.
If you go out in the woods today you'd better watch out for the sun.
The smartest painter that ever there was
Will wear a hat for certain, because
Today's the day the artists will have their paint-out.
[CHORUS]
Every painter that's any good is sure of a sale today.
There's lots of wealthy buyers about, just name your price and they’ll pay.
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
We’ll mix our paints there just as we please.
Today's the day the artists will have their paint-out.
[CHORUS]
