Hi everyone! I had a wonderful afternoon with my kids and friends down by this beautiful peaceful river, here in Ohio. In this video I talk more at the beginning as the pertinent information on the process of plein air painting tends toward the initial stages. I hope you enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature in this painting video as I chose to let the music be provided by the birds.
