A  small plein air painting I did while participating in the Yolo Art and Ag project this year.  I love going out to paint on the farms in Yolo County.  Makes me feel like a Montana girl all over again!

Here’s a snapshot of the paintings I did during my recent plein air painting trip to the Monterey area.  An exquisite time to paint, enjoy beautiful scenery and paint with good artist friends.  These paintings are available at Patris Studio and Art Gallery and for a limited time available for acquisition at the Crocker Art Gallery’s Holiday Art Sale the last weekend of November at the Scottish Rite Center.

A Fabulous Plein Air Painting Trip

Patris at truckee

I did a mini-plein air painting trip with my art bud Abigail VanCannon and Randy Blasquez up to Tahoe and Truckee.  Sometimes just getting away for the sole purpose of painting in beautiful places with good friends is medicine to the soul.
