Brushes In The Wild : Art, Nature & Unexpected Encounters

A slideshow and talk about decades of painting outdoors - the challenges, rewards and wildlife I've met along the way. I'm including stories - some for comedy relief ;-) of my many years as a self-employed artist raising children. I'll bring along my painting backpack so you can see the equipment I take out in the field with me. You'll hear about the beautiful landscapes I've been fortunate to paint and live in, and the challenges and rewards of painting outside year round. I even have short video clips of unexpected wildlife encounters to share in the slideshow. Then, we'll have time for any questions you may have...

Enjoy this sneak peek - a short video clip of a grizzly bear taken on my iphone from behind my easel. Hope you can make it!
