New milestone: En plein air oil painting on five continents

I started painting in 2002 but really didn’t get away from a studio and start painting outside for two more years. Since then I’ve hauled my easel around and painted ‘en plein air’ (outdoors in French) in almost two dozen cities around the world.

At the end of 2019 I had the fortune of visiting Argentina and capturing the below view of the Country’s Congress made a career milestone of being out in the elements, capturing the incredible views, and conversing with locals on five continents. A few choice selections of my outdoor ‘offices’ over the years:

South America

Congreso de la Nación Argentina. En Buenos Aires

Asia

Seoul, Korea and Tokyo, Japan

Africa

Tangiers, Morocco
In Marrakech, Morocco

Europe

En plein air painting in Lisbon

And of course North America
