Welcome to My Crazy Plein Air Adventures blog.
Beauty is where you find it. And sometimes it’s found by climbing over a few fences to get to an unusual subject. That’s part of what makes outdoor painting (Plein Air) so interesting to me. There are always new and interesting things to be discovered and painted.

I am planning on going out on a paint out this February 26, 27 and I have pack up my plein air gear and well start packng my clothes but I have to admit I am getting a little nervous to go out the the paint out.
You see the last time I got to paint was in September 2019 with the Outdoor Painters Society to the Balloon Festival in Plano, Texas.
At that time I did not know I was getting sick and would soon not be able to walk.
Now that I have recovered and I am able to walk on my own with no pain but still use a walker 50/50 of the time, I have once again sign up to join the Outdoor Painters Society to go on a paint out at Graham, Texas.
I am so hoping my inner critic dose not raise up it ugly head and start screaming at me about painting with Acrylic when everyone is painting in oils.
I hear from other artis all the time that I should paint with oil and not acrylic, because acrylic dry to fast and you can’t blend l Iike you do with oil. Oil are so rich in color where acrylic look flat.
When this happens I can’t enjoy my time painting. And beside I am Allergic to oils, that’s why I paint in acrylic an I love it.
Update:
I will not be going out to Graham, Texas to paint with the plein air group this week.
Hubby got a call from his dad that his mom is in the hospital. She is bleeding internally and they don’t know why.
So the next morning I told him to pack a bag and go see about his parents.
I am heart broken that I will not be able to get out of this house to paint (I have not drove a car for over a year now since my illness) but my husband needs to be with his parents and there is always next month when the group will be going out to Corsicana,Texas for their next paint out.
