As a plein air painter, the arrival of new color and cooler air has taken me out of my studio to paint where I am quickly inspired. The greens of summer have faded and scenes that were previously unexciting take on new possibilities and invite me to set up my easel. My most recent travels took me to Maine and Florida. The power of the Atlantic is amazing anywhere I happen to be. I enjoyed painting the wind evident in grasses and trees as much as I enjoyed painting rough surf and rising tides of the ocean.
