Plein Air Easton Quick Draw and Island Hopping in the Chesapeake Bay

Hi Folks,
I am returning from a week long painting trip that included a ferry, getting to visit an island in the Chesapeake Bay that is known as the "soft shell crab capital of the world" Tangier Island. I never realized this island was right in our back door and had so much to offer for the plein air artist. Tangier island is actually loosing it's foot hold on the bay. Yes it's actually sinking into the bay, the island is growing smaller by 3 feet every year. There are several moodes of transportation once you get to the island- Walk, bike, or you can rent a golf cart. I think I only saw 4 trucks over there and I think they were just used to haul around the towns namesake, crabs and fish. I had the chance to stay at the Chesapeake house originally owned by the Crocket family. This B&B had the best island food to offer, until....about 2 wks ago they had a grease fire in the kitchen and destroyed the kitchen and a few of the upstairs bedrooms. We still got to stat in the B&B thankfully they have a second house across the street. I love this little town, if you interested, check it out. Tangier island

After Tangier I made a trip up to Plein Air Easton's Quick Draw
I was able to take part in this single day quick draw event that included over 200 artist taking 2 hours to paint a scene in downtown historic part of Easton Md. Always a pleasure to be with so many good artist and it's great to see friends from last years event that welcomed me back this year.

Anyway,
here are some paintings from all the travels down the road. See you all further on down the road!
Take Care,
Tom

Rains bring me inside...

Hi folks,
I just wanted to quickly post a blog to keep folks updated and to post some recent paintings here. This week has been rainy here in Smithfield so it's kinda put a damper on Plein air painting. I still struggle to find time and places where I can still paint outside. Here is a few that I've had time to get out in between cloudy skies and days!

Have a great day!
Tom
