10-11: Plein air artists

http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009910119990 This is a story from the Toledo Blade Sunday Oct. 11, 2009 about local plein air artists and the joy of plein air painting. The Ohio Plein Air Society is mentioned and I am interviewed. It is all part of spreading the word to the world. I am but a voice that cries out from the wilderness!

Teaching Plein Air

I started teaching a small plein air class at the Dairy Barn Art center in Athens last Saturday and ever Saturday till November 7. Just 3 students so far and all are artists who want to get more pratice in plein air. Teaching is the best way for me to learn new things. I lectured about equipment, surfaces, paints and brushes, and we than went we and painted outside for an hour in the beautiful weather.
