Plein aire Painters have always been people that I admired. I'd done a lot of still life's, but had only made a few forays out of the studio. Then Jacqueline Baldini came to the Island and gave me the encouraging nudge that I needed to take plein aire painting seriously and become a member of I.P.A.P.
Finding suitable scenes, of course, are no problem, here in St .Lucia.
I've been using M. Graham oils for a while now , but switch off to acrylics or watercolor now and then. My palette consists of a warm and cool of each primary plus white.
