In October I took my watercolor class to paint plein aire at my neighbor's Celebration Ranch several times. There are several lakes on the ranch and lots of wildlife - we set up a "Trail-Cam" and caught the portraits of bobcat, coyote, black bear, raccoon, fox, deer and several men on atvs! The ranch backs up to the Callahan Mountains and the boundary of BLM land so there is much wild country for these critters to roam. It is a lovely place to spend hours painting and the owners enjoyed having the class there. Painting water with reflections is a challenge. Painting trees and landscapes with a variety of greens is a challenge. But challenges were met and some very nice work was the result. We plan on plein aire painting again this spring when the weather is less wet.
