A beautiful spring day along the American River, I went out to enjoy the river and sun with some friends. Of course I was inspired to do some painting, with the wild irises all in bloom along the banks.
Why do I paint? I paint because it allows me to escape from
work and go within to find joy. Painting creates an intimate connection with my
subject, in this case, my favorite model, Mother Earth. This plein air painting
done at William B. Pond is a perfect spot for demonstrating this: a quiet spot
away from the bustle of the city where I can reconnect with nature.
I actually painted this same tree cluster a couple of years ago as one of my first plein air paintings, but from a different angle,
William B Pond. It is amazing to see how much my painting style has improved over the last couple of years.
