I've just returned from a week of painting in Southern Indiana. It's a quaint little town and a great place to start the season of plein air painting. (a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.)
It's most enjoyable to reacquaint with old friends and to meet new ones. I belong to a group called Indiana Plein Air Painters Assoc. (IPAPA) This is our first paint out of the season and some of the best painters all around the region come to paint and show their work. This is where the similarity ends. I still have lots to learn and this seems to be a good place to pick up pointers and get charged up for the summer.
Interesting barns all over Indiana to paint.
Bridge out behind the Inn.
A little waterfall. Also behind the Inn.
One of the houses in town. Pretty!
This is the Wabash river. It's always quite high in the spring.
My favorite part of the town is the firehouse. I've tried painting it a few times, but without success.
You have to take a break once in a while and cool off. Right?
Be seeing ya.....
