A majority of my work is started en plein air, as I cannot be outside enough.
My first experience with oil painting was at 13 years old, though only for a very brief period.
After a 35 year hiatus, and now with a different point of view, thousands of miles trekked in the forests, I've come back to oil painting a renewed enthusiasm and zest. The marriage between my love for the outdoors and painting what I'm seeing & feeling, has been a true joy!
