Me! Plein-air painting in Arizona

Germaine Trenary

Hi all.  Believe it or not I am still amongst the living.  We are back home in Montana and very happy to be here.  The weather is gorgeous even with a few rainy days, I love it.  I found I was having a real problem with painting in Arizona.  I did not have a good place to paint with decent lighting, so I was discouraged.  Nevertheless, I started on my portrait commission of two children.  What a struggle!  I finally got them almost to where I was happy with them and decided to finish them here in Montana studio, where I could concentrate and see better!  This has been a long dry spell and I am anxious to get the brushes flying again.
Posting a picture of me plein-air painting at the Tubac Golf Course in Arizona, a beautiful spot.  Maybe a painting will come out of that sketch.
