Over the past several years, I have enjoyed plein air painting with several artist friends, and we have organized ourselves into a group named PleinAirSouth. We have painted many locales in the Mobile Bay area, including but not limited to the Mobile Causeway area, Dog River area, Mobile Botanical Gardens, Bayou La Batre, Dauphin Island, and downtown Mobile. Our group has also traveled to Apalachicola, Florida for the Forgotten Coast Plein Air Paint Out for the past three years. This past August, we were able to show some of our work at the Mobile Arts Council. Below are some photos showing my artwork in the PleinAirSouth exhibit last August, some of my other recent plein air paintings, and a few photos of myself enjoying painting outside.
