Plein Air Magazine printed an article about the trip Larry and I went on this summer. It turned out pretty good...probably because they just "copy-pasted" everything Larry wrote.
If you didn't know this already, I'm not a big fan of Plein Air Magazine. I'm sure Larry wouldn't mind me saying he felt the same. It really doesn't matter, and take it for what it's worth, but I think a national publication that claims to be the starting and end point for all things related to painting pictures outdoors should focus on printing pictures of paintings created outdoors instead of photos glamorizing the magazine's top artist advertisers holding awards they won at juried plein air events sponsored by said magazine. I know, I know..."But they're exposing all sorts of folks to the plein air movement (as if it's something new)." I guess I just need some more convincing...maybe a few more features I can share with all of you? Maybe one of those big game show checks and an invitation to teach at a "plein air convention"? You can't blame an "artist" for trying to make a living, right? Give me a chance to change my mind.
I guess I can take comfort in knowing the article is about going painting instead of winning awards and becoming a "successful artist" after buying ad space.
