An Online Artist's Coop for Artists who Paint on Location
I have a degree in Fine Arts and have been teaching art since the late '70s.
After juggling job and family for a few decades I have been back to my own art-making for about 10 years. My main painting medium has been oil pastels since I developed an allergy to dust, but I still use soft pastels (with a mask) and sometimes acrylics.
Although I also do studio painting, mostly landscapes, I love working on location and have paintings of both origins in commercial galleries and private collections in North America and Europe. A member of the Plein Air Painters of the Bay of Fundy , I have participated in paintouts and shows with that group and with Bloomin’ Artists in New Brunswick.
I love the multi-sensory experience of painting en plein air and find that it has also enhanced my studio work.

The next two were done in April, on red matboard primed with sanded clear gesso. They…

We spent a week in Varadero doing a lot of serious relaxing. I did manage to exert myself a couple of times with my mini-kit.
This is the beach and my setup. I omitted the sunbathers between me and the water. It's 5x7 on UART sanded paper, stuck into a moleskine-type sketchpad.…
