What a perfect day for painting outdoors today. I met up with some of the artists in the Finger Lakes Plein Air group. We painted at the Lamoreaux (hope I spelled that right) Landing Wine Cellars on NY-414 in Lodi, NY. Sitting way up high on a hill it really is a beautiful overlook. Corrine and I stuck it out until about 2:30 when we heard but could not see thunder over head. We took a break for lunch and drove down to the Ginny Lee Cafe at Wagner Vineyards about a stones throw away.

Corrine and I actually just met. We discovered that we both had our wedding receptions at the Belhurst Castle. She painted with oil paints. I used my watercolors. I decided to keep with my goal of drawing and painting people. I really challenged myself today. Here I am before I decided to use my easel. I sat behind Mike and Corinne so I could draw/paint them in my picture. Do you like plein air painting?
