Plein Air in Wells, Maine

I've joined the wonderful artist Jaime Howard in Wells, Maine. Today, we painted in Sue's beautiful front yard.

In honor of the Forth of July.

The Home of the Truffula Trees

My entire life, I was under the impression that the Renaissance Greats painted in a garden where the trees where trimmed into neat little puffs

Like Disney....

It turns out they grow that way naturally

Montecastello

In the summer of 2013, I went to Italy with Jaime Howard's plein air workshop in Montecastello.

 I've never been surrounded by more beauty.

 

I painted some lovely little watercolors in the park
