Inching Closer to the Waxahachie Paint-Out



2:04 a.m., Tuesday morning
26 May 2009

In just a few days I begin a new adventure. I will join 48 other artists in historic Waxahachie for an eight-day Plein Aire event. It begins Friday, May 29. This is the reason for my recent obsession with painting outdoors on location--I just haven't been doing it over these past two decades. The anxieties are beginning to subside as I've been doing work almost daily in Old Towne Burleson. I'm really beginning to believe that I can create quality works outdoors. I'm looking forward to the event, and joining the lifestyle championed by the likes of J. M. W. Turner, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth.
