Painting outdoors is fascinating to me!

I began painting outdoors over 20 years ago. It is a process that at first frustrated me and one I returned to many times over the years. The elements and how the paint responds is part of the journey. Often many incidents happen that alter the outcome and make for funny stories.

Recent Outdoor Experiences

In 2023 and 2024 I spent a lot of time painting outdoors and exploring the feelings of different places through the seasons. I learnt that winter allows for great shadows, quick painting and great success. The summer heat was more difficult to work with for me. I have great memories from these recent experiences, and I plan to continue to paint outdoors whenever and where ever the mood strikes me.
