Hi everyone!

"I love the idea of painting outside. Painting in the studio just doesn't give me the sense of satisfaction that I get when I paint a plein air painting. Maybe it's the fact that I get to use all of my senses when standing "out there", smells, sounds, and of course views help to create the plein air artist's final vision. Sometimes the whole sensory process can almost be a heady experience. And sometimes not. But there is something that gets the heart beating a little faster, and it's almost like an adrenaline rush when you're on a mountain top and it's fall and everything around you is head over heals beautiful.The essence of trying to get vision down on canvas in a reasonable amount of time is the best part of the experience."

Gary Gore said… - Hi Susan, Welcome to the group. Love your work and I was instantly attracted to the subject matter having painted New Mexico and CO for many years. I live in the Colo Springs area; there might be an opportunity for us to paint together sometime. I'm actually cranking up the career for a second time after some years away. Any suggestions for showing where you are active?

I really enjoyed chatting with you and Coni and the PAAC reception! I hope we can paint together sometime. But, at the very least, it is good to have friends who paint AND are moms!

- Hi Sue,
You're right...that was on West lincolnway...I had just finished painting at the Farmer's market earlier that morning and saw that on the way home, just had to stop. At the show, a railroader had commented that he had 10,000 miles riding that engine...

- Yes, fun to put faces with names. I was surprised to see that you and I painted different perspectives of the same block of buildings. The Feed Store. I found myself over there looking for a glass shop that Mike sent my to. Fun, keep in touch.
