“Everything that is painted directly and on the spot has always a strength, a power, a vivacity of touch which one cannot recover in the studio... three strokes of a brush in front of nature are worth more than two days of work at the easel.” - Eugene Boudin

Fredericksburg Plein Air Competition along the Rappahannock River
I attended a wedding in Jackson Hole, WY and stayed a few extra days just to paint these magnificent mountains!
I can get all my plein air supplies on my bike!
Packed up my supplies and headed to the west coast of Ireland to a little coastal town called Glencolumbkille.
Painting on location at Song of the Sea in Sanibel, Fl.
You don’t have to venture far to paint plein air. This creek is across the street from my house.
Painting outside of the Knockranny House Hotel in Westport Ireland.
Yep, I have even painted in the snow!
Caution, always read the signs before you set up! Half way through painting I noticed one bee, then two, then three heading back to the hive. I was right in the path. Thank you to Mr. Beekeeper for lending me his hat to finish up. Location Market At Grelen in Orange, VA
