Arizona plein air


I had a chance to go paint with the Arizona Plein Air Painters last week. Finally the weather is cool enough to enjoy being outside for hours at a time. I only found one other artist to paint with once I arrived but we enjoyed each other's company and painted all morning. Here is a progress shot of my 9 X 12 oil. This is on the Brown's Ranch Trail in the McDowell Mountains.

 


Lost Dutchman plein air

Last Saturday I joined the Arizona Plein Air Painters out at Lost Dutchman State Park for some morning painting. It was an unusual cloudy day in Arizona - but perfect for painting outside. No hot sun beating down on us! I can't wait to do more painting en plein air.


Turtles at the Zoo


On Sunday, October 27, I went plein air painting with a group of artist friends from Art League West. We went to the World Wildlife Zoo in Litchfield, AZ. I painted the start in plein air and finished it up in the studio a fews days after the outing. Two slider turtles sunbathe in the October sunshine.
