Plein Air Collage?


Today is my second day off and it feels great to get two in a row. I spent the first day rattling about the house in my bathrobe, organizing things here and there, reading, soaking in the tub, and writing. Today I finally got properly dressed in order to clear the walkways and driveway of the snow we received recently (just in time too, as a freezing rain began to fall as I was finishing up the pathway to the oil fill).

On my way back into the house, I grabbed yesterday's mail from the mailbox, which gets me back around to the point of today's post. I am always amazed to discover life's synchronicity. Just yesterday I mentioned plein air painting in a rather derogatory fashion. "I am not one to subject myself to that practice, this being New Hampshire where there's either ticks, black flies, and/or mosquitoes, or else it's too cold. Besides, collage lends itself better to solitary work with everything conveniently close at hand" is what I said. And now look what I found:


I think they got me on their distribution list in error. Are there any plein air collage artists?

The wind blows the raw materials away, like trying to play cards on the beach in North carolina.

Hi Jeff, thanks for stopping by. I love your question on ArtFlit:
"What if art came in 3 minute bursts and had a volume knob?"

Answer: I'd crank it all the way up and keep hitting the "Replay" button !!
