mmmmmmmmmfffffff
inhale inhale inhale
It has been so long, so longed for.
and now the time is here and with an explosion of color, texture and passion.
OIL, OIL, OILoh how I’ve missed you.
A reunion made at the end of a very dry time, desert strife, and long patient not so patient, patience.
Exhale…………………..

The definition of Plein Air or en plein air,Pronunciation: “plAn-’ar, -’er; ple-’nar, -’nerA French phrase that translates “in the open air”. This term is used to describe paintings that have been created chiefly outdoors, rather than in the studio. Photo reference is not used.
The roots of plein air painting from life are found in 19th-century Europe with John Constable and at the same time the Barbizon group near France with their sketch books in hand outside in the natural life combined they laid the ground work for the Impressionist Giants, Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Winslow Homer, Camille Pissarro, and John Singer Sargent. Who challenged and revolutionized the truth of the eye, form, light and color.

Falling into 1 & 2Sept. 21st. 05′Both of these plein air, pastel drawings are 4″ x 6″ and will be sold together

Many times inspiration comes when you least expect it, and you gotta grab it when it comes. I had these two pieces of blank paper mounted and waiting for sometime, not sure what I wanted to draw with my limited palette I call my yard, being an artist that is also a mother of 5 littles ones forces my creativity. For now I can dream of the places I will paint and I have to look around what I see everyday and grab the moments to share. These were no exception, I have been joyfully waiting for Falls show, and I’m trying to not judge what has just begun, but some trees like the poplar that turn a beautiful yellow are turning a quick shade of brown as they tumble. I had just sat for a quick break before dinner, looked up, there it was. I knew it as soon as I saw it, dinner waited…a little bit. Rebecca Grantham
