After a long winter with weekly near-blizzards in February and about 5 feet of snow in our built up in our yard (though I'll admit now it seems a bit Dr. Zhivago) AND a rainy and cold spring, it was great to get to the Cape over the weekend. I was surprised at how nice it was to be outdoors painting and quickly got on a roll, wondering why I paint indoors (5 feet of snow, cold, rain. . . commissions deadlines. . .). I will photograph and post the three paintings I did soon.

Plein-air painting on Cape Cod: worth the trip

Plein-air painting has a very different feel to me than studio painting. One must gather up all one's tools and be ready for what may come/arrive. I am very happy to continue on this adventure, however, as I have been very strongly urged by one my mentors to continue my artistic journey indoors and outdoors. Here is a new painting from this summer.
