A weeks worth of paint and canvas

Riley and I just got back from plein air painting in Pennsylvania's "Bucks County" - a very picturesque part of our country; cool at night, hot and humid during the day. Bucks county is spread out so I spent more time driving than painting. I wish I had spent more time with my camera than trying to paint because access was difficult at best....very narrow roads with little or no pull-off places to actually paint.

Given the amount of time spent in Bucks county, I didn't produce many paintings. My favorite place was Paxton Hill Farm because they had Peacocks, my all time favorite bird. I was planning to return Friday and Saturday and spend the rest of my time focused on these elegant creatures....however the heat and humidity got to me and I left early Friday. 

SOME SNAPS

 BACK IN THE STUDIO

I'm a happy camper back in my studio with some good references to paint and climate control. I left all the plein air  paintings with the gallery to be sold or donated for auction to benefit "Access Services" of Bucks/Montgomery county; the main reason myself and (7) other artists were there to paint. Known as "Artists painting for a cause" (I believe it's the first year)
