Painting in Nature

6/6/2015

Today I had the great fortune of attending a paint-out, which is an outdoor painting field trip of sorts.  Artists get together in an outdoor setting, preferably in a pretty, natural location, and either paint what they see (plein air painting) or paint something planned but enjoy the inspiration of their surroundings.  Our setting today was at Woodlands Trail in Belle Chasse, Louisiana.  It's a typical South Louisiana wooded area next to a wide canal with migratory bird watching and a nature trail.  It's located at the end of a gravel road off Belle Chasse Highway.

Even with early morning temps of 80+ degrees, we were surprisingly comfortable under the permanent wooden gazebo there.  We enjoyed the sounds of chirping birds, buzzing bees, croaking bullfrogs, the occasional plop of a turtle or fish jumping in or out of the water, and a nice breeze that kept us cool.  It's a lovely place, despite the construction going on nearby, and I recommend visiting and walking the trails if you have the chance.

I enjoyed the company of two artists I already know and met two new people.  It was quite nice, and I was glad to get out of the house for a change.

Here's a picture of my unfinished painting.  I hope to complete it this weekend so I can add it to the upcoming show.  Happy trails. ;)
