Plein Air- smell the freshness. Go paint on site.
Erin was introduced to on-site landscape painting (plein air) by a community of such painters in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2005. She got such a rush from the experience that she's continued the practice ever since. With each excursion, Erin attempts to take in as much of the atmosphere and environment as she can, laying down each mark of paint faithful to her senses. She learns more and more with each adventure.
