This location was what I call a "search". Although there were boats and flowers, you really had to search for your painting. Last year it was more colorful with interesting signs and lots of colorful buoys, old barn wood and some rustic buildings. This year it had a lot of fresh white paint and less color...so we all had to "search".
Some of my favorite paintings come from locations where I have no clue what to paint, nothing is obvious, it takes concentration, and causes an artist to really "see". It's a great thing to do...to stop and "see"...and then, there's "artistic license", we can just add any color,

paint in some colorful buoys, or a bluer sky, or ....well...anything we want! I love being an artist!
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!
