Enjoyed a nice fourth of July at Lake Tahoe with my wife and baby girl Sophie. So many amazing memories made with the girls!! Was able to sneak away during a couple of naps and get some plein air painting in. Here is a quick painting I worked on...on the shores of north Lake Tahoe, just east of Tahoe City.
In a lot of ways I find Plein Air painting to be like golf for me. Every time out is equally enjoyable and humbling. A great hobby where I spend time appreciating the beauty of nature and the challenge of getting the most out of myself with my art in a very short period of time. This was only the third small outdoor paiting I have done since last fall and I am hoping the rust begins to really come off soon. Hope you enjoy it.
Best,
Josh Smith
PS. Everytime I am in Tahoe I am scratching my head wondering why I haven't gotten out to see Clear Creek, the Coore and Crenshaw course down the road towards Carson City. Got to make that happen.
