Plein Air Magazine's "Plein Air Today" interview titled Painting Light on Busy Animals can be seen by clicking here! This interview was inspired by the comments people made on Facebook about the painting "Breakfast at Treva's" (20x24"), seen below. Thank you for following me!

"Warm Aloha at Lahaina Coolers'
August 2015
The two works I was commissioned to paint for the Dakota County Technical College, seen below, are a departure from what I normally do these days. I enjoyed the challenge of including transportation, construction and emerging technologies with abstract concepts like inspiration and connection. Both are 48x72" oil on linen.
"The Spirit of Inspiration"
"The Spirit of Connections"

July 12, 2015 - Today is the first day of the week long event: "Plein Air Duluth: Paint du Nord", sponsored by the Duluth Art Institute. This morning, I painted at Amity Creek and this afternoon I found some beautiful wildflowers in Lester Park, along the creek.

It was a rush to be up in Duluth this month and have a second chance at the lilacs! The iPhone photo on the top is of the finished lilac sketch. If I wanted it to be more than a study....to finish and sign it, the values and drawing would have to be cleaned up a bit.
In contrast to Sunday's lilac study, "Behind My Studio" shown on the bottom, is a more finished, refined lilac painting (from a while ago). Painting little studies helps me learn about structure and character, and my artistic intent is in the category of 'notes to myself', which I approach a bit differently than a complete Plein air painting.
