Plein Air, finally!

In preparation for my Artist Residency 

this September in Gloucester,  

I am gearing up for lots of plein air this summer. 

 Quick "pop up" sessions work best for me

so I'm working small.

Last week I went to the dunes down the street
around 4:00.
A soon as I set up, the clouds came
 so I quickly popped in these shapes of color.

45 minute plein air

It's been a long time since I painted plein air.
so I'm pretty rusty.
I'm looking forward to when it comes a little easier!
And I don't forget anything.

 

 My set up.
This was a long walk with my gear.
I forgot my shopping cart
with the big wheels.
