My Adventure Plein Air
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.

Before I start I want to apologize.
I thought I had post all my Plein Air Adventures for this year but I found out that some of them got wiped out while others are still in the draft section. So what I plan on doing is this, some of my Adventures are lost while others are still in the draft mode. I plan on trying to post once a week what I have too update you on what is going on.
Again my apologies if you thought that I fell off the face of the Earth but I haven’t it’s just been one rough year.
Well hubby and I went to Tyler, TX but before I tell you my adventure I must say that the day and a half before we left I started to get sick. Hubby told me that if we cancel the Hotel than we would lose all the points that he paid for on the room.
I told him we are going and we did.
We got to Tyler on a Wednesday and the Paint Out was the next days. I could not wait to get out there to paint.
That night I had chills and was just under the weather. But the next day I did not want to get out of bed for I I felt so bad but I suck it up and we went out to the first destination which was a ranch.
After I check in I was over whelmed and all I wanted to do was to go home for I felt that bad. But I figure if got out and painted something than maybe I could get into the swing of thing.
So hubby drove me from the main house to the front house up the road and I saw these three big trees in the pasture with two horses, a beautiful view of the dirt road with trees lining each side of the pastures and right across from where I was sitting was a partial wood fence with some kind of Vine growing around it with these pretty red flowers.
As I started to paint the wind kick in and acrylic and wind are not a good combo. (.*0*.)
As I was painting it seems like it had been so long since the last time I had painted outdoors, it felt like years, but in reality it was just last month.
Has anyone experience this?
Once I had finish my painting (sorry my phone died and I lost all my pictures. So I can’t show you my painting) I move on to other painting but this time I use my palette knife. The wind was so strong by now that my easel kept blowing over. So I have to a meant that I rush through my 2nd painting because of the wind and not feeling well.
Note to self: If you are coming down with something or are sick do not go out to paint because your heart and mind will not be in it.
When we got up the next day it was cold, it had rain and was still windy. So I opted to take photos of landscape, building, etc beside doing some drawings which work out better for me.
