En Plein Air is a French term for painting "outdoors, on site and on location". It is also very addictive! And so difficult. It took me more than a year to produce anything sale-able...
To feel the wind in your hair, watching the birds and the bugs, hearing the cows and the horses - it just creates an atmosphere that somehow translates onto the canvas. I prefer painting in the mist and the rain - and that must say something. Nature has a deep, all encompassing and transformative effect and I hope you can see it in this body of work.
