Hello all,<br />
Above is a 14x11 plein air piece painted at Alabama's Noccalula Falls last month. I joined the Alabama Plein Air Painters group for a nice sunny day there, and a great dinner afterward. Only a two hour drive, and well worth it for the fun and practice. Hope to see some of you at Plein Air Easton in a week or so.....58 top artists competing in the heat and humidity of coastal Maryland.<br />
For those interested in a great time of fun and challenging learning, don't forget my up coming workshops.....August, September,October, November......referred to in previous blog(s)......as always, feel free to email me if questions.....<br />
Stay cool....!<br />

<br />
Hello , and happy Fall, y'all.<br />
<br />
Above is a 12x24 plein air piece painted a week or so ago at Blue Ridge. This train leaves daily for tours along the Toccoa River and is especially popular in the Fall, when the mountain area trees turn color.<br />
For those interested, I'll relay some of the thought process while painting this.<br />
Compositionally, it's not usually advisable to have two divergent focal areas. (i.e. the train versus the station), and yet I thought there was enough energy and relationship in this scene to make it work. Regarding the foreground flowers; in reality there was a mixture or red and yellow flowers there. I initially put both colors in but decided it was too riotous or unharmonious, so just stayed with the yellow/orange, which is essentially a complement of the blue train and station. This was a pretty large paintng, and one of the difficulties was that a big SUV was parked on the left nearside of the street, blocking entirely the train. So i had to do a combination of walking around it to get a view, and then just guessing what the alignment, lighting, and perspective would be. During the last half hour of the painting, the SUV finally moved, and I was relieved to find my guesswork was pretty close. Oh, and , the weather...it was easily 90 degrees out and quite uncomfortable. Thus, a very common situation of 'unknowns' when you paint plein air; you never know what you are getting in to.<br />
<br />
Check out information on my upcoming plein air workshop in Cumming, GA, studio workshop in Macon, GA, and my usual 6 week class starting again soon at the Marietta/Cobb museum of Art. See you there!<br />

I encourage you to sign up early as these sessions usually fill up very quickly All are geared towards oil painters, all levels, or some, intermediate to advanced. Feel free to email me, at johnbguernsey@bellsouth.net, if you have any questions and/or would like further information. NOTE: I will be adding associated links and contact information for these classes.....so stand by....will be back shortly!!<br />
<br />
6 week Tuesday night class at Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art starts ...AUGUST 2nd!! (hurry). This class is always fun as well as helpful. (this class reoccurs again late fall,and even a short session during the holiday weeks!)<br />
<br />
2 Day Plein Air workshop , October 13,14th, at the Soulful Art Studios in Cumming, GA. A great host facility a good chance to get in some good solid instruction...perfect time of year for plein air!<br />
<br />
Workshop at Colby Glen (Macon, GA) goes for 4 full day sessions, once a week, Wednesdays Oct 20-Nov 10th. (part studio, part plein air). You can't miss this great opportunity. The last session, earlier this year sold out, and was a great time.<br />
<br />
3 days workshop at Quinlan Art Center, Gainesville, GA. Sept 22-24 Going on<br />
the 4th year, this workshop is always fantastic, and one of the best facilities you'll find. This is studio painting, and this year, concentrating almost entirely on landscape!<br />
<br />

Greetings friends......Above are just 2 of 4 pieces from the just concluded Carmel Plein Air Festival. (sorry, photos blurring and glaring). One was a street scene in nearby Pacific Grove (12x16), and the other some beach cliffs south of Carmel (14x18). The street scene won an award of excellence from Plein Air Magazine. The weather was cool and overcast most of the time, but but a nice week overal. Next stop, Los Gatos Plein Air Festival.....! </div>

...here's a couple quick pic's from last week's Southeastern Plein Air Festival in Gadsden AL. The one on the easel was taken moments before the easel disintegrated in the wind, and the painting, a scene of the top edge of Noccalula Falls, was damaged beyond help. (It would've been a prize winner for sure, right? ha). The other one is a view from a bridge overlooking the Gadsden Railroad yard, and old steel mill. This one, a 12x24, won a merit award from juror, Dawn Whitelaw. Kind of a wild week, but always a kick to paint there , and for the last several years.<br />
Hope to share some moments of upcoming festivals in<br />
- Winterpark, FL (april)<br />
- Carmel, CA (may)<br />
- Los Gatos, CA (june)<br />
- Cashiers, NC (July)<br />
..more to come.....<br />

Here's a 12x16 plein air piece from my trip to the California Coastal area this past January. This was a view of Laguna Beach from the Hensler Park walkway. I lucked out with very good weather and a nice quiet weekday. Thanks for checking in.<br />
