(have you heard about the trips Robert Genn and Liz Wiltzen take people on?). I do appreciate your encouragement, Barbara and look forward to hearing about your workshop with Patti.<br /><br />Thank you, Mary, to you and Gary. A compliment from you always means a lot to me.<br /><br />And thanks so much, Sharon. I look forward to seeing more of your plein air this year, what fun that we both want to. I want to let everyone here know that Sharon recently painted outside on a city/town street, in public, I think near her gallery. Talk about courage!<br /><br />Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-12072868290729144882013-05-02T20:19:23.209-04:002013-05-02T20:19:23.209-04:00I love this Meredith.

When it gets so hot and humid, I become a hot house plant. Make an A/C house plant. Sharon L.

I paint plein air some but the older I get the more picky about get about it being warm and dry etc. etc. I bought a new 2" brush for Patti's workshop in June, I should practice with it.

I think I just automaticaly expect great things from you, Cathy! I'm happy to hear that you will post it, and I look forward to seeing it. Wow, that's so coincidental that you used different surface and brushes than your norm, too. Maybe we can encourage each other to work at it this summer. Thanks for what you said about my painting. And yes, I agree that I live in a pretty area. However, I definitely find everything I can see from my own yard "compositionally challenging," but this morning, I really both wanted to paint outside and to be HOME! Next time, I will venture a little further.Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-36594926263337035842013-05-01T20:23:25.984-04:002013-05-01T20:23:25.984-04:00haha!

I am not a plein air painter. I keep trying. I will post my painting tomorrow. Like you I used different brushes and surface than my normal. Its all so different than studio work. This is something I need to do more often if want to get better. <br /><br />But your painting really is pretty wonderful! Love the layers of mountains. What a pretty place you must live in. I think it was good we were both out there today. Cathy Engberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116327773066674927noreply@blogger.com
