plein air in slow motion

the foggiest summer I can ever remember. Not good for painting on the coast,but here is one I was able to get when the sun finally came out.

plein air survival

This past week was the Napa Valley Art Festival, a one day event.

Not good for half of the artists and not good for the festival.

50% off of last year's sales but always good to see fellow artists and old friends.

This weekend is the Tiburon Art festival, I will be represented by the ArtBar on the main drag in Tiburon.

plein air workshop

teaching a workshop all week in Marin county. It was the first time I conducted my workshop in the fog everyday. This is the worst summer for plein air painting along the coast.

Next week end on August 21 I will be partisipating in the Napa Valley Art Festival in Yountville.

Here are a few paintings for the show.

plein air painting in the summer

been painting over the hill from the fog. Not much sun these days been doing a lot of driving to find the paintable sun..... here are a few recent painting.

I plan to have many more. as soon as they dry. I need to scan them but need them to be totally dry before I can do that. I teach a workshop in August and do the plein air paint out in Sonoma in September. I love painting outdoors.... more so when my wife joins me.
