PALS | Plein Air Limner Society

We love Plein Air painting. There is something so special about being out in the fresh air, alone or with other artists, seeking out a new location or vista to set up your gear. Ignore the wind, or snow, or burning sunshine while adding one more color, one more paint stroke as you dive deep into your painting. Enjoy the autumn leaves and a bubbling brook, the salty beach air... All of this is the essence of Plein Air Painting... on location...feeling one with nature. Join us!

Sunflower Field 8/21/12

Some of you may not realize the behind the scenes thought and research that goes in to picking the right location at the right time...but after a search all the way to the end of Long Island, Chris Taylor and I clocked 100 miles (yes, really) before finding a rare sight this year...a Sunflower Field!

PALS had a great time,painting one of my personal favorite subjects...Sun flowers....we couldn't get inside the field, because of the threat of poison ivy, so I scratched that itch on the way home, stopping at our local farm stand buying a fistful of huge sunflowers, so I could happily paint some more!

Love Summer on Long Island!
