Plein Air Painting
There is nothing I enjoy more to do on a beautiful day then to work outdoors on a Plein Air painting. I have worked on paintings from the Colorado Rockies, Caribbean, New England and other locations. My Plein Air paintings have been exhibited in many solo, juried and group exhibitions.
5th Annual Plein Air Celebration 2016 at the Olana Estate Hudson, NY
The Plein Air 2016 event at the Olana Estate in the Hudson Valley, was a truly wonderful experience.
I completed three paintings during this weekend event. My first painting took place on the first morning on the outside of Olana's beautiful garden. After completion, I walked along a trail that encircled the Heart Pond, with a view looking through the woods up at the Olana estate house owned by the Hudson River School painter Fredric Church. On the following day, I set up my paints by 7:30 am in order to try and capture the rugged early morning view of the Catskill mountains while the fog still covered much of the distant autumnal landscape.
