Last Bloom White Lilies is the newest small work on the easel in Flower Mound Studio and tomorrow used to be the day I dreaded most. Monday, heading back to an office chair, sitting in front of a computer all day, counting the hours until I was home and back in the studio with the pugs. I'm still not quite used to the idea of being able to stay home and be a full time artist, but I'm certainly enjoying the transition period! The countdown to my solo show in California has begun, and I'm headlong into my second large container garden for the show, painting pots and flower gardens as fast as my brush will fly. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it....!

Plein Air Painting in the Spring by Pamela Blaies

Plein Air Study of White Iris

6.5" x 5.5"

I enjoy painting in my comfortable studio - music on, no worries of outside elements interfering with my painting process. I've only done plein air (painting outside) a handful of times and that was years ago. I have many friends who prefer painting outdoors and I'm planning to go on a trip with some of them in May, so I recently purchased a travel easel. Yesterday I drove by a yard filled with gorgeous white irises , so I ran home to grab my new plein air stuff to try it out. It was a little awkward getting everything all set up and I was only able to paint for about 30 minutes, but it was fun! Here's the little study I finished. I don't know if I'll ever be a die hard, paint in the freezing snow kind of artist, but it sure is nice painting outside in the spring!
