Plein Air painting in Canberra, our National Capital.

I've been in Canberra for three days so far. Each day is a different venue: Weston Park Lakeside, National Arboretum and today: Government House!

It is the inaugural event called Capital (Plein Air) Outside Painting Festival. More than 100 people have signed up, and each day many paintings are produced. 

Both beginners and professionals are welcome, and there are workshops and lectures from well known plain-air artists like Warwick Fuller, Leon Holmes and others.

Some of the artists looking out from Gov. house.

Myself at the Arboretum.

Sketch up for "Looking Back" (first one in a while, so I'm a bit rusty!)

I'll upload the final paintings to my Plein Air page. It will have purchase details if interested.

Painting big!

New work, Empress Falls in the Blue Mountains.

This canvas is 180cm wide  I’ll post progress photos, plus others that I’m working on.
