It has been a whirlwind of a year, with a wedding and some family health issues, but I am taking a minute to breathe and am ready to release the landscapes I’ve been working on since early this year.
I’ve found a couple of plein air painting buddies, Sharon and Ann, and we’ve had some fun times (we do call ourselves The Fun Club) painting together in strong wind, beating sun, and swarming bugs. It’s an adventure. I’m pretty sure one East African Crowned Crane tried to propose to Ann at the Sylvan Heights Bird Park, but she’s already taken. It is also both encouraging and humbling painting in front of people, in the open, in the elements. We do get some humorous comments. But way more kind ones. I learn so much about color and atmosphere when painting en plein air.
