“Painting outdoors sharpens your eye and speeds up your decision-making. It demands honesty.”

Richard Schmid

Unknown

“You can’t paint the same river twice. Everything changes—light, shadow, color—and you change too.”

Lori Putnam

“Plein air painting is the best training a painter can have. Nature won’t wait, so you learn to trust your instincts.”

Kevin Macpherson

“You come face to face with nature—not just as a viewer, but as a participant.”

Clyde Aspevig

“In the studio, I’m a thinker. In the field, I’m a feeler.”

Kathleen Dunphy

"What could be more wonderful than the life of a painter?"

Richard Schmid
