Summer time = plein air painting time

Work in Progress - Painting at the Peony Farm.
I love living here in the Finger Lakes region of Western, NY. Summers are a perfect time get out of my studio for plein air painting trips with artist friends. There's something magical about painting outside and from life. All the information is right there in front of you, including the bugs that get stuck in your painting. The weather had been gorgeous here, so I packed up my half box folding easel and headed out. Thank you to Barbara Hall Blumer for showing me a great painting spot, and thank you Doris for letting us invade your beautiful home on Keuka Lake.

Here are some pictures from last week's trip to Borglum's Iris and Peony Farm near Geneva, NY, followed by pictures from today's trip to Keuka Lake.

      Thanks Colleen. We are a very informal group, and send out an email chain when we're planning to go out, usually Wednesdays. I'll add to to the email list next time we plan something.

    This article will explain how to varnish an oil painting using Winsor Newton Damar varnish. Before we start... Never apply final varnish to an oil painting unless it has thoroughly dried. Facade Upgrade Specialists
