Plein Air

Steamboat Rock - study
6x8; oil on panel

I know, I know....I've been very remiss in posting of late. But I have a good reason: plein air. I'll just say one thing -- I get it! Not that I get how to be good at it -- yet -- but I get why it's so important...and fun. Hell, it has even made me go out and paint something that I thought I would not even want to try -- the red rocks around Sedona. Again, I'm not professing that I get HOW to paint these iconic structures...but I get why it's important to try and paint them.

First attempt...."Study: Steamboat Rock"
