License and Registration Please: 7
After today, there’s tomorrow. But I won’t be painting tomorrow, at least not in the Adirondacks. I’m going to keep this short (yay, I know) because I must be leaving about 4am to get to Richmond VA in time for registration. On the agenda for today was painting at Tupper Lake, Bog River Falls, and…
Read MoreThat One Place, 6
If there were one place you would like to go paint, where would that place be? I would have to think long and hard on that one, but for the artists from the “Hudson River Valley” one of the most widely painted locations was “The Flume” on the Ausable River. No where close to the…

The Publishers Invitational is an artists “paint camp”, you just come and paint when ever, and whatever you want in what I’m finding is a very wonderful part of America. But Eric in the grand scheme of things knowing there are many who are not familiar with the area might need some ideas on where…

If you would like to get “technical” today was the first “full” day at the “Plein Air Camp”. I slept great despite the dorm room that has what has to be a sleep number 110 or something. I am a definite 40. I must have been tired. Maybe it’s like this on all campuses now-a-days,…

How many times have you taken a trip arriving after dark, and the next day when the sun comes up the world that lays before you is nothing like what was there when the lights were out? The Publisher’s Invitational is tucked away at the lovely Paul Smith College in the Adirondacks of New York,…

Well I’ve started the little contest on guessing the final mileage of my road trip, I figure why just go half the way? I’m blogging about who knows what anyway, it might as well be the road trip. It officially got going today, though there has been much leading up to the trip that really…
Read MoreInappropriate Behavior
Appropriate/Inappropriate, ever been accused? Surely you have, it’s not just me is it? Well even if you haven’t, maybe you’ve wondered to yourself, “Is this the way I should be reacting?” I’m going to veer away from art, just for a second, because sometimes life pops up between the paintings. I know that’s not the…

You my dear friend are now a part of history, very pointless and inconsequentiial piece of history, but nonetheless this is the first. This is my first ever “HOW TO” blog. Yay! What do you think about a “How to be an artist” blog? No way, too easy. That’s grab anything, stick it anywhere and call…
Read MoreTiming is everything
When Mom and Dad were quietly talking to themselves over in the Den with a desk of paperwork, maybe bills. Is this when you interupted and ask for a bigger allowance? How about when your waitress has a tray of food she is delivering to the table next to you, is this when you try…
