Plein Air painting is a hobby. I love to go to different places usually with friends and just paint what I see. These simple interpretations are fun; they are not works of art, but they could be a jumping off point for something requiring more thought, planning and concentration.
My first outing was in Huntsville, Ontario where I painted and sold a number of buildings in the town. I love how when you are out on the street people come by and talk to you about what you are doing.
My first day in Florida I participated in a "Paint the Beach" in Fort Myers. It was my birthday and the best birthday ever.
I now paint in a variety of places winter and summer; usually on a Monday for whatever reason. In Bracebridge, Ontario I belong to the Brown Baggers. We battle the mosquitoes and paint in the woods, often in Algonquin Park. In Florida, I belong to the Peace River Painters. This is fun for me as I have been to so many places I never would have know about - Placido, Arkadia, The Nav-i-gator, Matlacha, Casperson Beach(on and on). I have made so many friends just hanging outdoors and doing what we do.
If you are interested, below are some of my favourite places.
