American Legacy Fine Arts "Fleeting Moments" 2nd Biennial Works en plein air

 Becalmed (Dog Beach) 11 x 14
Lupine of the Storm 14 x 18

I am very pleased to share that I have been invited to show in this exhibit with some of the plein air artists I admire.

These two paintings put me back  in the moment  they were painted so I chose to submit them.

"Becalmed" makes me hear the muted sounds the surf makes on an overcast day with no wind.

"Lupine of the Storm" was a wonderful moment of winter overlapping spring in the Coachella Desert. I met other painters while painting here and found out that once lupine has been pollinated it shifts from blue to lavender and purple.
