A lazy plein air painting trip to the Angeles National Forest

Some photos and a video from a recent painting excursion

Hello dear readers,

I am going to do a short and sweet post to catch you up on some creative projects that have manifested themselves into physical form over the past week.

The latest from The Side Woo - NEO 10Y
The first is, in case you missed it, an interview with the artist, vegan activist and pop musician NEO 10Y. He’s so sweet and was a delight to talk to. Have a listen below or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.

The Side Woo x Night Gallery

Above is a still from the recording of the live-taping of The Side Woo at Night Gallery this weekend in honor of Iva Gueorguieva solo exhibition’s closing reception. Epsiode and Youtube video coming soon!

Lazy Painting Trip
This weekend as a way to decompress after the talk, I took myself out for a quiet plein air painting excursion in the Angeles National Forest. I packed my oil paints, for the first time since my Iceland plein air trip, and some small 11 x 14 inch canvases as a test run for future, maybe bigger work.

No I didn’t make it all the way to the Cosmic Cafe, but armed with a jug of peanut butter filled pretzles and a luke warm match latte, made a couple stops at overlook pullouts along the 2 Highway. There are so many amazing vistas it was hard to choose a spot.
