Off to paint in Plein Air

Yesterday and today I am taking off from painting my daily paintings to go outside and paint. This is a pastel painted from the front steps of my parents porch. It is soft pastels on black sand paper. The scene is calming and I grew up seeing this everyday so I stopped and painted it. Today I'm going to try and paint a few more places I'm familiar with.

On a side note I got an email today from Melodie (http://www.photographicmelodie.com/) who runs the Southport art committee. Duane King (http://www.duaneking.com/) forwarded an article from Outdoor Painter that I made it into. Here is the link. http://www.outdoorpainter.com/featured-events/indiana-ohio-groups-paint-together.html. When I say that I made it into the article, I don't mean that my art made it in. I was standing in front of some amazing work by Ronald Mack. I wrote about the event previously. This is from the Richmond plein air paint out. Anyway it was a lot of fun. For those in or around Northern Indiana there is a paint out on August 5th & 6th on the Dunes. Check it out.
