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 ( ein Air) so interesting to me. There are always interesting things to be discovered and painted.

I want to pop in to let y’all know what is happening in my little word of Plein Air.
I am still in recovery, but I am happy to report that I no longer in the need my wheelchair. 👏👏👏. I am walking on my own now.
I still have to have hubby drive me around, though, but it is nice to have someone with whom I can share my love of plein air.
The Ellis County Art Association is working hard on this year Paint Historic Waxahachie Event, and I am one of the co-chair for this event.
One of the things that I am in charge of is to put together suggestions for places for artists to paint in the Ellis County area.
We have artists who come from all over Texas and some that come out of state. For the last 8 years, I have heard from artists, including myself… “What towns are there in Ellis County to paint?” When we paint in May, we paint the city of Waxahachie. Again, I heard, “Where is the city limits?”
Well, this year, I have done the research and hubby, and I have been going to each town to see what there is to paint. What I have found is a lot of historical homes, buildings, animals, barns, farmland, etc. So this year we should have a great turnout of artists.
Plus, I am so looking forward to getting back out there again and getting my feet wet with my graphite pencils, watercolor paints, but most of all, my acrylic paint again.
Until next time, my friends keep creating, and God bless y’all.
