Pleinair Painting is Delightful!
Painting Outside - challenging yet fresh!
I've helped the Tecumseh Land Trust set up 4 Pleinair Paint Outs at properties that they have preserved. We've painted at Howell Farm (I taught a mini-workshop there too!), at Praires's Edge Studio near Springfield and will be at the Glen Helen property 'Camp Greene' in October. Another paintout at a wetland prairie had to be cancelled due to weather.
Today's painting is from the Prairie's Edge property....I painted a beautiful old Oak Tree. It had the remains of an old swing that I decided needed to be put in. It was a challenge to capture the colors of the prairie, the tree and the shadows/sun spots beneath the tree. We hope to put together an exhibit with work from the artists that have participated in the paint-outs.
If you'd like to paint with us, sign up with Tecumseh Land Trust to come paint on October 16! Are you a beginner or need a refresher? I'm teaching a mini-workshop "Give it a Try" at 9:30.
See you there!

Art Making Abundantly!
This year of semi-hibernation to keep safe has pushed me to make more art than ever. It is partly because I create to express the beauty of nature and oh-my-goodness, I’m taking more hikes than ever too. Which inspire me to paint even more....it’s a good cycle. I’ve been painting outdoors quite a bit with art friends too..as long as it’s not TOO cold.
I also make little cloth bird to sell at the Village Artisans Gallery for Christmas or...just to hang on a lamp or wherever. Here are a few pix!
Stop by Village Artisans for more of my artwork or visit https://www.villageartisans.org/ to see more of my work and my fellow artists’ creations!

Paint-Out in Yellow Springs OPAS - June 22!
I've organized a Plein Air Paint-Out here in Yellow Springs for all interested in joining us. I attended the Ohio Plein-Air Annual meeting in April and they encouraged all of us to host (particularly someone in YS - hint - hint). I found a friend to co-host it with me, Yuki Hall, a wonderful watercolorist whose work I adore.
All are invited to come on Saturday, June 22 between 9am-1pm. We'll meet at the big stone church on Main St - First Presbyterian (314 Xenia Ave.) between 9-10 for snacks, reconnoitering, etc. then head out to paint the town. I'll close up the church (plenty of spots for bathrooms in town) and we'll meet up again at 12:30 to share paintings/talk. I'll close up the church again...folks are welcome to paint on their own, etc. : ).
Plenty of spots to paint - downtown, Antioch College, Glen Helen, along the Little Miami River, the Riding Center, etc. Lots of barns in the area if you like farm scenes...come one come all
BTW, the town holds an Art Stroll Friday, June 21 from 6-9pm with gallery receptions, etc. I'll be at Village Artisans Gallery for our reception of 'Pollinators', corner of Dayton and Corry Streets. please visit us!

Watercolor Sketch Class Sept. 18
Come join me for a mini workshop next month at the Hertzler House in Springfield, OH!
Watercolor Sketches Plein-Air (outside, if the weather permits). I’ll teach how to pick a subject for your WC sketch, compose your design and use ink and watercolor to make a lovely painting. We’ll have the chairs, etc for you to pick your chosen spot, WC paper and ink pens. You bring anything you need to be comfortable outside (hat, sunscreen, water bottle), your paints and a few brushes and a board to paint on (clip board size). I like to use a small and a larger round brush as well as a flat brush. I’ll bring some extra brushes for people to borrow. I’ll also bring along some sample watercolor sketches. Come join us and have fun painting in this beautiful historic setting!
