The Santa Fe Plein Air Festival is on and I’m here. Although I’m number six on the reserve list I decided to come down anyway and take advantage of the painting opportunities. It’s an invitational painting festival and limited to 31 artists. Perhaps I’ll get lucky and get included. The event is sponsored by the Plein Air Painters of New …
Good Morning. I’ve got a few important announcements that I’d like to pass along. I’m happy to announce an active show schedule for this year. If you happen to be in the area of any of these, I welcome you to stop by and get acquainted. As you know by following along so far I just returned from the Plein Air …
Well, it’s been a fun and fine time here in Tucson Arizona. Today has been the wrap up Plein Air Convention 2016 which is billed as the largest gathering of outdoor painters in the world. I can’t lend any verification to that claim but I know there was a lot of us here. Total tally was right at 900. They had …
Saturday at the Plein Air Convention 2016 in Tucson, Arizona was a great day. The wind had quit and the temps were moderate, mid to upper 70’s I think. Beautiful day. Before I get too far I need to mention that Dean Mitchel, watercolor artist, was given a lifetime achievement award by Eric Rhoads last night and then Dean spoke. …
Attended the first day of the #PACE16 convention and it was good. Worth the price of admission if I left tomorrow. I got a little watercolor done out behind the hotel where #PACE16, Plein Air Convention 2016, is being held while I was waiting for a couple of programs I wanted to attend. The wind has picked up today, a …
Here I am in the Wishing Well Adult RV Adult Park in Catalina, Arizona for the next 6 or 7 days. Right next to the Circle K…for convenience I guess. I tried to get into Catalina State Park which would’ve been much more desirable but they are booked solid. They referred me here an said the next closest place is …
Headed to Tucson, Arizona for the Plein Air Convention 2016. Billed as the world’s largest gathering of outdoor painters, the convention has been past held in Monterey, CA. This year it was moved to Tucson. Closer for me. Thanks. Something over 850 painters and nearly 100 faculty and staff will swarm over the area for 5 days painting. Speakers and demonstrations will …
The Plein Air Convention in Tucson, Arizona is coming up next week. I mention this because I’ll be there. This will be the 4th Plein air Convention. The previous 3 were in Monterey, CA. I advertise in the Plein Air Magazine so I thought I should go to the convention to see what it is all about. New development for …
If it wasn’t already hard enough to be an artist it has now become illegal to paint outdoors, at least in St. Augustine, FL where artists are breaking the law so reports fellow artist and blogger James Gurney in his blog GurneyJourney. You can see it here at www.gurneyjourney.blogspot.com. The problem apparently stems from the fact that when an artist …
I spent some time between playoff games this past weekend planning my plein air show schedule for 2016 on a large “year at a glance” wall calendar. I blocked out the days of the shows and entered the entry deadlines to help keep me stay on track. I have to do this because I am notorious for forgetting to meet the …
