What a great time at the PACE24 Convention! I am so excited about my trip home from a week of plein air painting, workshops and demos at Cherokee, NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains to learn from those who are at the forefront of the art age during our time.

On the way home I saw a wonderful field of poppies and wildflowers on the roadside. Didn’t matter how tired I was, those poppies were getting painted!

Joe was gracious enough to sit in the truck for a couple of hours while I basically got my color study started. It was work in progress but now (almost three months later)I’m sharing the finished painting! So here it is!

@richesonart Sienna Plein Air system makes it easy for me to set up quickly and efficiently. It’s what I used in my “painting in the truck video” that has received over 25K views. Check it out if you’re interested in seeing it and ask me questions. I’ve pinned it at the top of my profile for your convenience.
