Wow, you are on top of things Casey! Thanks for all the links -- some great artists to follow as I pursue my plein air efforts. It's a challenge but definitely worth it. Happy painting!

Your art is very fine, Eden. Thanks for letting me include you in the "Plein-Airists to Watch" category.

Brian McGurgan said...

Yes, thanks for all of the great links, Casey, and for your helpful tips. I love the color and composition of "By the Heath Place", and look forward to future posts. Hopefully the spring weather is co-operating with your work outdoors!

Thanks very much Casey, now I'll NEVER get out sketching - I'll be stuck in front of this computer for ever surfing through all these fantastic links! And each link produces even MORE terrific links. All great artists - thank you.
And thanks for including me too!
Now I've got some new pastels, so I'm dragging myself away to try to live up to the mention!
Cheers!

Happy to have your readership, David. Sketching...I'd better do some of that myself!

Thanks for adding my name to your list of experienced plein air pastel painters. I truly love the medium and working outside is simply the best!
