I always enjoy painting with Sonoran Plein Air Painters !! They are a vibrant group and our discussions after painting are always informative. We had a busy weekend- Friday afternoon at Christopher Columbus Park and Saturday afternoon at Kings Canyon Trail head.  Two very different palettes.

Is there a better way to start a New Year in a New Decade than spending time outside painting? My first trip out to paint after a busy holiday season was to Sweetwater Wetlands. It was a cool crisp morning with the sound of birds chirping, and laughter of school children on a field trip in the distance. My painting buddy and I decided that since it was so pleasant, we would start a second painting.  The light had changed and the air had warmed.  Perfect day !!
