I think I am good for about a week on these painting trips before I start to miss the family. It's not that we do these incredible things together but I just feel better when I am around them. Kinda' like a security blanket I guess. And it doesn't hurt that they are really awesome people.
Above are a few of the paintings I accomplished on the trip to Atlantic Beach. Before we left on Tuesday, Lee Dellinger and her husband Charles Jones had a social at their home and the guest list was Marc Delessio, Jimmy Craig Womble and his lovely wife, and Jason Saunders and myself. Had some great stories. I always ask each artist I meet where they would paint if they only had one place to paint for the rest of their life, where it would be. Marc said Morocco. Yeah, I know, me too. I pictured France, Venice, mountains of Tibet. And believe me, the guy has been everywhere. But that was it for him. I will say this, the way he described it, it has moved up on my list considerably.
The following morning we hit the road and arrived home after a 13 hour drive with a couple of stops. All in a days work for a plein air painter.

Aw, man, Kevin . . . What great work! Absolutely beautiful!!
What a productive week away from home!
Thanks Gary. It didn't hurt that there were great views everywhere. too much to paint. It was a nice problem to have for a week.
Lisa - My trips do seem to be more productive. Eat, sleep, paint, eat, sleep, paint is a productive schedule.
Good work! Glad you two got home and stayed out of trouble.
Hi Kevin
Your work is so very inspiring! You are a master of value and color.
I too enjoy painting along coastal NC. I spent a week plein air painting on Harkers Island, just north of Atlantic Beach, NC last summer.
