The Journey Begins

I've had this idea for a few years now but only now is it taking hold in my mind that this would be a really fun and worthwhile adventure to actually accomplish. As an artist I love to be out in nature and to travel and experience new places and people. My idea is to travel to and create paintings in, all 50 of our States over the next 10 or 15 years of my life. My style of painting, plein air painting (a french phrase meaning "in the open air") is perfect for this - it is by it's very nature, exciting and requiring of quick painting skills. My painting kit is compact and easy to transport - photos to follow. I will post painting photos and write the stories that go with each painting as I go along. That's it for today - Suzanne
