Jekyll Island Painting Trip

Here are some images from my recent painting trip to Jekyll Island, GA. I drove down to meet my sister and her daughter, who were vacationing there for a week. I decided to drive so that I could bring my new plein air painting set up and do some painting. This was a mixed bag – It took me 12 hours to get there (not fun), but it was nice to be able to go wherever I wanted and set up my painting stuff with minimal hassle. I got some painting in and also did some sight seeing. As you can see, I got some good reference photos as well.

Make Your Own Canvas Panels

You can make your own canvas painting panels at a much lower cost than you can buy them pre-made. In my new video, I show you how to make (8) 16×20” and (4) 11×14” panels for a total cost of $50. All my videos are available for free viewing on my blog. Check it out and send me an email if you have any questions.  Watch the video: click

Plein Air Painting – For Real!

Just to prove to you that I can suck it up and really do some Plein Air painting, here I am painting at one of my favorite locations, Seneca Golf Course.

Plein Air Painting – Sort of

We had a nice blanket of snow yesterday and I have been waiting for such an occasion to try some plein air winter painting. It looks so romantic in the videos I have watched! But it was very cold and windy yesterday – not good conditions to be outside, much less to paint. This morning was a little better, but I still could not bring myself to attempt to paint outside. So, I did the next best thing – I jumped in the car and took some good photos at a couple of sites nearby which I have wanted to paint. Now I just have to start painting some!
