Happy New Year!  Looking forward to 2014, and looking back in retrospect at the moment!

My painting is one I painted en plein air, on location during one of my stays as artist-in-residence with the National Parks Service in Shasta County, California at Whiskeytown Lake . . .and this was a few years back, in 2007.  Really enjoyable to remember that time.

In the spirit of looking forward and planning ahead, I've expanded on a post on my blog about the experience of plein air ("fresh air") painting, and you'll find it useful if you want to explore that. For the artists that read the Landscape Artists International blog, this information found through the link below could be useful in saving time and $$.  My post finishes with an article that expands on the topic, gives tips and hints for plein air painting, guidance on what easel a beginner may want to start with, or information when wanting an upgrade,  and evaluations on easels that are the best value for your budget.

Oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, oil pastel, and drawing in charcoal are my mediums and I provide information on what easels are good for the medium you use.
