Really enjoyed watching you plein air paint. I have recently started painting watercolor outdoors in the parks, and found myself enjoying outdoor on location painting much more than I expected. However, it is definitely not easy with watercolor, but it helps me to keep it looser.

I loved it, Sandra from Australia

Great stuff! Are you wearing your camera? is it your phone or a go pro?

Your video popped up in my RU-vid feed. I really enjoyed it. I started making plein air videos as well. Twice the work to document the process BUT I learn from myself rewatching it. as I got to the end of your video, I see you have a bird too!! I have a green cheek conure, 18 years old. 😊

Hi Laura.

@WildWoodlandsSW

Also you mentioned about your love of trees,and painting them. Im reading a book at the moment called The Hidden Life of Trees(Peter Wohlleben). Maybe it could be an inspiring read for you. It really is quite a fascinating world of how they communicate,protect and nourish each other. At one point he finds what he thinks are stones in a circle,but on investigating finds them to be petrified wood from an ancient tree stump. He scrapes a bit further and finds the 400 yr old giant stump is still alive,being nourished by the trees around it. Quite amazing.

Really nice location in the Rockys,wonderful to see and feel the atmosphere. The hummingbird visit was stunning,suddenly appearing like that. And i love a good thunderstorm,so nice to see that at the end. The painting has richness and depth,great work. Well done ladies!
