Plein Air Adventures


Bountiful Cherry Blossoms-9 x 12-sold
The view...

The Spring has been a busy time for plein air painting.  It started with a request for a private lesson... So I was able to arrange a couple of perfect spring days painting at a friend's farm ..







Next it was time for "Art in the Gardens" at the Shipley Secret Gardens Event. 6 artists worked in the various gardens the week before the tour... as well as during the tour.  Our paintings were exhibited at the luncheon at Hilltop House in Devon on May 16th.


Blue Adirondaks, 11 x 14- sold
Driftwood Trellis, 11 x 14  oil on board
Bird Feeder  8 x 6  oil on board


Blooming Trumpet Vine, 8 x 6- sold 
 most inquiries I received while working on this busy street corner
were, "do you know where the entrance to the museum is?"
On May 28
 I  participated in one of the Barnes Museum's special opening events, where along with several members of the Philadelphia Sketch Club, we worked "en plein air" next to the museum during Opening weekend.
