Plein Air Weather is Upon Us

I am impressed by Celeste Bergin's dedication to painting and to blogging. So much so, that I am prompted to make a post just to give myself the incentive to venture out of doors, outside, not in the studio. I have to confess I haven't been outside painting since last fall at the Alpaca farm in Hillsboro. Its like starting back to anything, 1 day a week will do!

Upcoming Landscape Show October in the Pearl

The landscapes in this upcoming show were painted on location Spring through Fall of 2009 around Oregon and Washington. Painting outdoors for me requires a methodical yet quick and spontaneous response to the surroundings and rapidly changing light.
