Plein Air Invitational
September 1-30
Plein Air Demo with Jim Felder
Saturday, September 13, 1-3pm
In recent years my work has taken on an intent that it did not previously possess: The preservation in images of the remnants of an outdoors I knew as a child and have enjoyed through the many years since. What I once pursued for its simple beauty has become my desire for its immortality.

I use my plein air work as a way to “capture a feeling.” I use my camera to record a moment. Back in my studio I like to combine these into large scale paintings of those things I wish I could keep forever... old signs, decaying buildings, old cars, trucks and tractors, and beautiful rural landscapes. My paintings are my memories, and accordingly, some of my paintings take the angle of a child’s viewpoint; lower to the ground.
Plein Air Demo with Steve Dininno

I work in a variety of media but am primarily a painter and printmaker. Whether applying paint to canvas or ink to an etching plate, I strive for a rhythmic unification of pictorial elements and a drama between light and dark.
