Plein Air Beginnings

PictureFalls Lake Plein Air, Sunday, Sept. 21, 2014
If you know me, you know that my dream for years has been to travel around the country in a small RV and paint.  Well, there are two problems with this dream. One, I don't have an RV and two, I feel very uncomfortable painting in public.  So this weekend I took the first steps in solving these problems.  I got my feet wet with some plein air in an area that would likely be pretty quiet. It was a chance to get used to a smaller painting space and juggling pallet and paint and finding a way of working that would suite me.  It's all about getting past the fear of something new and maybe uncomfortable in order to one day live my dream. And, the fear was worse than the reality.  I saw a couple of people on Sunday and they saw me painting and the world didn't stop. Next weekend I plan on painting in a much more public venue and I'm feeling pretty good about it. 

I also made a decision that eliminates the 2nd problem-no RV. I'm not going to paint inside the RV so all I really need is transportation, and that I have.  And, bonus, my car is almost paid for.  And I'm not traveling to the ends of the earth, wherever I am, I'm sure there will be hotels.  I'm ready to stop dreaming and start living.

    I'm an fine art artist in Raleigh, North Carolina.  I need a paintbrush in my hand to feel complete and I invite you to follow me on my art journey. Everyday brings new ideas and projects... there simply is not enough time... On December 1, 2012, I joined the community of artists who paint a painting each and every day. I haven't been able to keep up with the daily painting, but I'm trying hard to keep my paintbrushes busy.
