Fire Island Lighthouse May 29, 2012

PALS had a spectacular time at the wonderful Fire Island Light house. Some of us were there a few weeks ago with Wetpaints group and we also had artwork displayed in their show. I don't think I could ever get tired of painting here. Everywhere you turn is another scene waiting to be painted. Walking to the lighthouse is invigorating also. I enjoyed the bay side, and I had my easel set up, with my brand new umbrella, to protect myself from the sun. I was pleased with my painting and packing up, when a gust of wind toppled everything over and my painting was half covered in sand...only problem, it was the sky portion! Oh well, another reason to go back and paint again!...as if I need a reason!

Let the Painting Begin!

PALS 2012 Plein Air Season has begun!
Bayard Cutting Arboretum Tuesday May 15th!
The stormy skies and cool air was not enough to keep some PALS away!
The lure of the paint brush and a beautiful location was stronger than the crisp air!

Not to mention the hot tea and delicious lunch at the cafe afterwards!

Spring has Sprung!

 SPRING!

Hello PALS! The forsinthia are in bloom, so its time to make plans for PALS Plein Air!
Any one interested in joining us in our Plein Air outings, please print out a membership form and send it in soon! Even though Long Island was chilly and super windy last week, a few Pals went out painting with a wonderful Plein Air painter, Kelly Medford, visiting from Rome, Italy http://www.kellymedford.blogspot.com  We froze and Kelly was almost blown into the marina, but we had a wonderful time!

Meadow Farm Nov 8 and Nov 15, 2011

I believe it is safe to say that PALS loves to paint at this wonderful and peaceful farm. Thank you Jen and Peter for allowing us to be free on your beautiful property. Even the Alpacas and geese didn't mind us a bit.  The weather was warm for this time of year, and we all enjoyed every minute we painted, and each others company. I hope we can go back again next year!

Bayard Cutting Arboretum Nov 1, 2011

This was a cold and blustery day. I almost wondered if I could stand the wind as Joan and I searched for the perfect spot to set up our gear. We wandered from the lake toward the mansion, when the sun came out and we felt the breeze stop as we were blocked by beautiful trees. Perfect!

Monterey, CA Old Fisherman's Wharf

While PALS painted on the east coast in NY, I was painting on the west coast

in California. I painted in Aptos, Capitola, Carmel, and Lake Tahoe, but my favorite location was Old Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey. My friends Priscilla and Durinda and I ended up lucking out and painting in the America Impressionist Society paint out. The weather was perfect and there were artists with easels as far as the eye could see. Another highlight was catching the AIS annual juried show at Mountainsong Galleries in Carmel. The paintings in that show were outstanding. My new love...California!

Longwood Estate Oct 18&25

It was great to see such a nice turn out of artists enjoying this beautiful location.  I missed PALS but thank you Chris Taylor for the great photos!

Woodside Nursery Oct 11, 2011

I had the best time painting with PALS at Woodside Nursery. Thanks Pete and Roe! The sun was shining, the pumpkins were abundent , the mums were colorful and lush, and we now know every word to "Casper the ..."

LaCortes Farmstand Moriches, NY Sept 27 & Oct 4

We had such a great time painting at the wonderful LaCortes Farmstand that we had to paint it twice!
Wonderful colors and flowers, fruit and Vegetables! Even Llamas. The weather looked a bit grey, but then cleared up right above our heads and it was a pleasure. Of course, the best thing of all are the wonderful

PALS! Your talent inspires me!

SuffolkCounty Farm 9/13/11

Such a gorgeous day at the Farm.  I think the goats may be my favorite.

PALS International Plein Air Paint Out

We enjoyed celebrating the wonder of plein air, after meeting up at Forge River Marina in Mastic NY. First we shared our memories and stories about September 11th. I think we collectively wanted to really appreciate our art and the beauty of the day and to live on in memory of all of the lost people on this 10th sad anniversary of 9-11. God bless everyone.
