Night Painting Season


Here is last years fall and winter night paintings. The plein air group always meets up at five pm regardless of season so when the light starts to disappear we just put on our headlamps and switch to night painting.

Same Subject, Different Days


My plein air group often tackles the same subject on different days.

One of the pearls of wisdom I came away with from the James Gurney DVD is that watercolor requires a degree of recklessness. John Singer Sargent said that watercolor is like a controlled emergency.
