Last week my friends Richard Lindenberg and Christine Coy came up to visit me and get in some wonderful winter painting while the snow was still fresh on the ground, and the weather good. We had five good long days of paintings and covered a lot of ground. The Truckee River, Mt Rose, Donner Summit, the beach at Bristlecone, and the backside of Ward Peak, facing Twin Peaks. As I had been painting in the studio most of the winter, with the exception of a couple of weeks in FL over Christmas, these were my first plein air paintings of the year. It felt amazing being outside, hearing the birds and the sound of the wind, and the creeks beginning to run off into the lake. I did not need a reminder of why I love plein air painting, but it sure was great to get back out there! This next week I'll be painting in the Winters "Paint the Town 2010"
