Winter Plein Air


Looking South

As I was looking south down this lake I couldn't help but think about how much warmer we were a month ago when we were down in Arizona.  It even looked warmer down at the far end!  And speaking of Arizona I was very fortunate to arrive in Sedona in time for their Plein Air Invitational week.  With limited transportation I was only able to attend the 90 minute quick draw but it was amazing and later in the week I went down to the Art Centre to see some of the works.  There is nothing quite like watching the pros paint.
But now I am back with some local pros and am enjoying getting out there even in the cold temperatures.  I throw some toe warmers in my boots and wool socks over my hands and am ready to go.
