Great work, I have always enjoyed viewing landscapes and  I have been struggling with doing them for a long time. Getting out and painting plein aire  recently has helped me to appreciate them even more. Great work.

Hi Thomas-  Your plein aire poll was so hard to decide on. I would have checked all of your choices.  I used to organize our painters each summer with the Northstar Watercolor Society here in MN and we had a wonderful time.  Then I had to stop because of my sister's illness but I am looking forward to organizing a few outings again this summer.  I paint also in the winter in my car although that can get chilly here in MN.  Anyway is was a good poll- getting inspired to get outside soon, sunshne, fresh air, bugs and people.   Oh, and for the city vignettes I always choose a place close to a coffee shop-   Love your gallery-great work!           &nbs p;          Deb
