Making Headlines

Making Headlines in The Star newspaper in Easton Maryland during the Plein Air Easton Event earlier in July. What an event it was.

Plein Air Easton Maryland

Easton was so much fun. What a beautiful part of the country. The boats, the town, the farms. what variety. I did love painting in the local resturaunts the most. The painting below was done at a local bar "General Tanucki's" I hope to go back next year and paint the owner. I also did an exterior of the place for the quick draw competition, paint in 2 hours or less. Can't wait to get outside in Chicago more and paint more boats.

Plein Air Easton

WOW, the month of May has been fun. Many new adventures and exciting things happening. I'm looking forward to this summer with lots of painting, indoors and outdoors. In July, I'll be heading out to Maryland for the week long Plein Air Easton Competion. looking forward to this event.

Come witness the dynamic painting competition and festival that is "Plein Air - Easton!" Explore one of the most picturesque small art towns on the East Coast while interacting with some of the nation's top plein air painters. www.pleinair-easton.com

Wednesdays Painting

This little painting is kind of an unusual size. Perhaps 10 X16 or so. I ran out of canvas the other day but I like working on these unusual sizes. they stretch you on compositional ideas.
