Plein Air Painting


Question one must ask - Do I paint on  location or in studio today?
 The more I paint, the more I prefer the great outdoors as my work space. There is something about connecting with nature while creating a visual history of it. 

I had been itching to paint outdoors versus inside and it was incredible to be back outside. Yes, me who hates being cold, painted in the snow. I got all bundled up, including feet warmers to complete this painting below. Turned out my challenge was not being cold after all, it was how the snow (big white fluffy snowflakes) affected my paint. "Snowy" 12x12
