My Favorite Plein Air Sites On The Farm...

I've been crazy busy the last couple of weeks doing lots of painting and re-organizing before the fall.  I'm always talking about the farm where I do a lot of my outdoor work so I thought I would share a few photos from there.  One of these days I'm going to take a photo of my set up while I'm outside, but never seem to have my camera with me when I do.  (It's just something else to carry!!)  Anyway, some of you may recognize these sites.  I snapped a few with my phone one day while out there. 


The camera doesn't capture the distant hills and there are about 150 acres for me to tromp around.  It's a beautiful place and very inspiring.  I hope all of you are having a great week!!

Wet Canvas Carriers...

I've been pricing wet canvas carriers...and they can be costly!  For these little paintings, I usually just tape them inside a plastic flat container.  However, that wouldn't work if I had to travel any amount of distance, so I'm upgrading.  If anyone has any favorites they would like to share, I'd love to hear.  Right now I'm leaning toward Guerrilla totes.

Gray's Arch



One of the cool things about being an artist is gathering material for paintings.  I had the pleasure of visiting Gray's Arch in the Red River Gorge area this week and took lots of photos.  It's hard to get the real scale of how large this formation is through a photograph.  I've included a photo of Tom at the bottom to give you an idea.  Very cool place.

Painting what you love....

I've always heard you should paint what you enjoy the most.  I love the solitude of nature so it's easy for me to spend the morning or afternoon by myself painting.  I also love my Kentucky, so being outside here (even in the heat) is a treat for me.  When I was a kid, I used to love just watching clouds change shape in the sky and clouds are still one of my favorite things.

More beaches...

There is nothing cuter than seeing children at the beach for the first time.  For those of you who've spent time at the beach you know what I mean.  I'm crazy about painting beautiful places, but I also enjoy capturing special moments too.
