After the opening of
The Expedition and Beyond at Principle Gallery, Alexandria Va, in April those of us that could sneak away for a few extra days went up to artist
Catherine Prescott's home in Pennsylvania for a little camaraderie and painting time together.

| Plein Air-less Painting, this is the Expedition and Beyond group, now that's hard core! (image inspired by all those pictures of outdoor painters in EXTREME weather conditions) |
The Women Painting Women, Expedition and Beyond show is over at Principle Gallery, but you may still
purchase or view the catalog. It is marked down to the post show price of $15.00. It is also available as a digital download for only $2.90. The digital download is FREE with a print version.

My daughter Carly, who is an illustrator, was with me this time, so she enjoyed a little plein air painting on her laptop. Here's a
post she did on her blog about it. After she met these artists she more fully understands my appreciation of this group!

| Awesome, painting in PJ's or with a cat on your lap. Totally my idea of a vacation. |
I'm enjoying this kind for speed painting, since most of my work is more what I'd call slow painting. It has given me a new appreciation for alla-prima and plein-air landscape work. Happy painting whatever your speed!
