Our Plein Air group met near East Palestine, looking east into Pennsyvania. The clouds moved in a dramatic display above the cornfields.

Gordon Park
Michelle, Becky and I looked for the perfect spot to paint. We found this dramatic view of the city of Cleveland from Gordon Park. We set up our easels on a concrete slab. The wind and waves from Lake Erie were a challenge. But, the view was worth it all.

Bayarts
During the OPAS Competition I participated in the Quickdraw. I hadn't settled on the spot to paint until the whistle blew to begin! Quickly looking around, the light on this Bayarts Gallery building really popped! Really I would not have seen this dramatic light if I'd tried to choose a spot at another time of day!

Rocky RIver
The OPAS Competition was in Cuyahoga County this year. The Rocky River seems aptly named! I set up on a large rocky ledge near where the water cascaded down to these impressive stones. The light moved over and out of the ravine as time passed. I had to return the next evening to finish.

Cranberry. PA
One beautiful summer day I met two Plein Air artists, Doreen Currie and Tami Louco. Tami is from the Cranberry area of Pennsylvania and Doreen is from the Latrobe area. We shared stories over a lovely meal at Tami's and Painted this farm on a cool sunny day.

Yellow Creek Falls
An artist in our painting group suggested we paint in the Struther's Yellow Creek Park, where he runs each day. I sat on a rock slab right at the edge of the falls. I enjoy being almost within the painting.

Girard-Liberty Park
The stone slab creek-bed is a challenge to capture, especially as minutes pass and the light moves over it. This is what I completed while sitting in the cool ravine one summer day in August. The trickling of the water is the best therapy imaginable!
