Great week helping run @holtschooloffineart #pleinairtrip this week through #normandy. 🇫🇷 The Post/Impressionist locations we visited blew me away. I dare say emotional at times. Historical sites, great paintings, great people, and fantastic food. Thank you to everyone who attended. #shout out
Hope to do it again next year! #wishtherewasmoretimetopaint
The biggest shout out of all should go to my beautiful wife @katestewartfineart
And the Fabulous @holtcleaverstudios

I sometimes use mica in my paints to shimmer and shift the color. The "blues" in the back space are different depending on where you stand. This effect is hard to photograph.
