Lindy Du Toit commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"I partially painted this one en plain air, and when I got home, I did not like it much, so threw it on the wood pile to burn with the next barbecue. Well a few days later I was cleaning up the logs and fireplace, and came across the…"
Lindy Du Toit commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"I promise to go out to where there are boats and do some this year.... I only have a couple of boats paintings and drawings, and they are really not up to scratch. Plain Air... have only this one ... and it was completed in the studio.

Black River near Black River Village NY.
11x14 oil on linen. Gusts of wind to 30mph blew my canvas off the easel. Early on so the fixes were easy and I secured it more carefully. Soon my straw hat was rolling up the river rock shore line on it's brim like a wheel. Caught it in 25 yards. A…

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A PAINTING CARRIER
This is an easy and inexpensive carrier. Perfect for travelling and plein air painting.
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A PAINTING CARRIER:
1 PIECE OF FOAMCORE (found at art supply stores like Michaels)
Place on a flat surface. Divide foamcore in 1/2. Draw a line down the middle. Measure 1 in on either side of this line, this is wear you will cut into. Using a straight edge and a utility knife cut…

Pushing past former limits
I find it interesting how much goes on inside my head when I paint outdoors. The area around me could be on fire and I wouldn't even notice because of all the inner dynamics. I'm not sure these dynamics are limited to just my "mind" either.

Ups and downs of moving art
Today I am moving my art and all involved to my new studio. One up is it is bigger and funner. The downs are few. Lighting is an issue.
