The Trip
In June of 2016 my wife and I went on a year long painting journey that took us from our home in Northern California put to Montana and all through the western states down to Texas and out across the Gulf of Mexico out to Key West and back. We towed a rebuilt 1555 Shasta trailer as our home and used the back of our GMC pickup with camper shell as a studio. In 11 months I painted 250 plein air paintings. We went where we wanted when we wanted and painted anything we felt like painting. I don’t think I have ever learned so much in such a short time.
