Family Gathering on Mt. Bouanaan

Oil on panel - 2014 - (private collection, Spain)

One of my first true plein air painting sketches, coached by Canadian master and dear friend Sam Paonessa during a plein air workshop residency at Green Olive Arts in 2014. The group of boulders along the gravel trail up this mountain will always remind me of my family’s weekend outings there, picnicking, playing, hiking and generally taking that much needed deep breath among the pines.
