I’m excited to share that for the third year in a row, I’ll be spending a week painting at Red Shed Community Garden in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, starting this Monday, May 13th through Saturday. If you’re in the area, stop by and see me and my work in progress. Also, feel free to bring your art supplies and come make art along side me. I’ll be there every afternoon as long as it isn’t raining too much.
Plein air painting (painting outside) is always an adventure. It’s challenging to make a painting in one sitting while also dealing with the weather, insects and changing lighting. But it’s also really rewarding to work outside. There is an intense, spiritual quality to spending a full week looking at and studying nature every day.

I will update my Instagram page daily with the work I’ve made, share my experience and update my schedule in case you’re interested in visiting. My hope is to make five paintings in six days!
