Lots of Plein Air

Beautiful weather and painting, what could be better.   Roan Mountain was not to be missed this time of year.  I was lucky enough to meet two members of the North Carolina Plein Air Painters who were there as well.   Scott Boyle, the founder, was there as well as Craig Franz.  I like painting with other painters because one is less of a novelty to the public.  The site of the painting is the old Cloudlands Hotel, only part of a foundation remaining.

Another plein air event at Duck Dance Farm was to gather material for the Blue Ridge Fine Arts Guild exhibit "Renaissance of the Family Farm".    Since I struggled with the values of the Roan painting a monochromatic study was in order for me.  Kat Turczyn, who organized the event, was kind enough to send me this snapshots.







It's studio time now, the exhibit opens in a month.
