The Plein Air Conference in Monterey was super. I learned a lot from watching many artist work, met multiple old and new friends, enjoyed the incredible Monterey area and ate well.
I had problems with the humid climate and my pastels... but managed to get this study done before the fog moved in. The landscape is inspirational, no doubt.
What a fantastic opportunity. Now I am ready to get to work with a multitude of new ideas!
I feel honored to have two of my pieces hanging at the new Ivinson Hospital in Laramie, Wyoming. They were chosen for their sense of calm and vastness.
I am pleased!
One more reflection of my exciting day at the train yard in Green River...
I was enthralled with the visual temperature change as cloud shadows shifted throughout the hot afternoon. Different scenes were lit up, causing my imagination to sore.
The vastness of the landscape along with the magnitude of the train yard was awe inspiring.
What a great day of field studies!
