My painting from the weekend. We had a big event in my area this weekend called Explore the Shore. (North Shore of Lake Erie) I was demonstrating Plein Air Painting at John R Park Homestead. It’s a really beautiful historic homestead. We had a lot of people come through. I spent the two days painting and explaining what Plein Air Painting was. I also invited people to join our group on Mondays. This event got us some really great new members last year. I sold one painting, and have interest on 2 more.

Another scorcher, and high winds to boot. So, again I opted for the Moleskine. I try to keep it simple on these days. One of our members, Gary , paints in oils. The wind knocked his easel, and he ended up with two big hand prints in his painting of the manor. Discouraging to say the least.

It’s been so busy for me this summer. so, I’m going to play catch up on my blog tonight. This was a blazing hot day. So I decided to keep it simple and got out my Moleskine. Two page vertical spread. The pond was green/brown, not at all inviting. The Canada Geese didn’t seem to mind though.
