This past Friday and Saturday I attended a plein air workshop in Newtown, PA., a farm on PLumsock Road. It was hosted by Valerie Craig, a wonderful plein air artist from the Philadelphia area.http://www.valeriecraig.com/index.htmThe setting and scenery were perfect. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the autumn colors were glowing. BUT, the temperature was cold and there were gale force winds blowing non-stop. Easels were toppling everywhere. I lost all my turp. Luckily ,Valeri had some to spare. In spite of the constant pressure of holding my easel in place. I managed to do 3 paintings. Plus, I enjoyed the beautiful farmland, the instruction and being in the company of other artists.

Cecelia, I am so happy to see the results of this workshop. It sounds like you had a good time despite the few problems we all face when working outside. I hope you learned alot and made some new friends.
These are wonderful, Cecelia. You can tell you are in your element!
Great job Cecelia. Sounds like it was a wonderful workshop.
The thirst for wisdom is a life long pursuit and a sure way to success. Congrats on the wonderful pieces produced while battling the weather.
Well I sure can relate to your description of that workshop! Glad you had a productive time despite the windy conditions. I really, really like the soft quality of these paintings ... soft, yet no loss of vitality, for sure. They're lovely.
