Hi Guys!
The title of this newsletter is taken from a joke-How do you tell if a farmer is good at his job? He’s outstanding in his field!
Well-this isn’t my field, but I sure had a good time standing out in the field at Slavin Natural Area, just south of the south hill.
The glowing light was incredible!
Most of my plein air (French for painting outside basically-fancy!) kit. I had a little REI stool and I carry all of this in a small Osprey backpack plus sunscreen, water for me, bug spray and an extra layer.
Painting the pond
Had a lot of fun with the texture of the grass in the foreground.
Gorgeous long shadows in the evening-what a great time to paint!
If you’d like to paint with me-I’ve got two classes in July for painting in Spokane Parks.
One on the 12th which you can sign up for here at Riverfront Park and another on the 26th at Manito Park that is through the Corbin Art Center and you can sign up for that here. All skill levels welcome-instructions will be personalized for students. I hope you can join me! If you’re interested in what I have going on in August, check out the Events section of my website.
This is my last art festival of the summer on July 30th at the Wonder Building 11-5. I’d love to see you guys and say hi! Thank you to everyone who came out to see me at Manito Art Festival and Bazaar-both shows were great!
Here’s a recently finished painting inspired by a kayaking trip with a friend to Horseshoe Lake. Did you know there are multiple lakes with that name in our area? Thank goodness we carpooled so we didn’t end up at different lakes!
This painting is inspired by a patron who shared this photo with me-a view straight down Riverside.
Happy 4th everyone! Have a lovely and safe weekend!
