Plein air painting offers to me the natural effects of color and light and the ambience of the location. The plein air work then becomes a field study for the studio work I do.
"When I paint landscapes and seascapes in Plein Air, I sense a connection with the peace, beauty and strength of the Spirit of life. It is as if I am standing in the Sacred Temple of God's Creation." Linda Sheppard
Art is an expression of the soul; I delight in using exciting colors and painting with a freedom of spirit, expressing the beauty of nature in an abstract manner.
