Hi Richard, How are you. I met you at the Lametour Retreat. Enjoyed your writing about Colusa and the birding adventure. The back roads are fab and i paint out there often. If you guys come up again give me a call, there are really some great places to paint. It has really been cold this winter, lots of freezing mornings. Last winter was milder we could actually paint end of Jan and Feb. Louie Cairos, what can I say, a landmark of the area, I always stop in for soup and "garlic", ya reeeek for a week! Your photos are really beautiful of the area and you should come back up to paint. Thanks for writing. deb
