Plein air in March

We had some lovely days in Kapiti as the weather turned cooler... perfect for plein air painting! There is  something special about a painting captured outside at the very moment you experience that time and place. These paintings are oil paint on board... providing a solid surface for mixing paint as well as holding it. Near the beach, I found a picnic table to sit at. By the pond, I sat on the grass. The soccer field was painted as I sat watching my son at his first soccer training of the season! As I go about our weekly routine, I often see a colour, or shape, or composition worth sitting with for an hour or two... to capture and share. We rush backwards and forwards through such a beautiful world!
