Plein Air Painting in Heber Springs, Arkansas
WOW!! Just got back from a painting trip to Heber Springs, Arkansas with Albert Handell and Anita West. It was a great time. We all painted together from 9am to noon and 2pm to 5pm everyday for five days. We painted at some beautiful locations. My favorites of course involved rushing water in the form of waterfalls, rocks and streams. There is a peaceful and spiritual place there called Collins Creek which is just magical. We also painted along the Little Red River downstream from the Greers Ferry Dam. It was getting late in the afternoon when the fog came down river enveloping everything in a luscious haze.
Back at the creek, the waterfalls tumbled down the entire creek providing different painting venues and opportunities along the path. The roar of the water was all you could hear and it drowned out communication and made us focus on the beauty that surrounded us and the sereneness of the place.
It was really draining physically but emotionally and spiritually it renewed for all of us why we paint en plein air! If you have never painted outside you really need to get outdoors and try it. You will find that it renews your spirit and clears your mind and uplifts your soul!
So what's stopping you? GET OUT THERE AND PAINT!
Talk to you soon,
