Morning at Defiance Ridge

Arriving early for the live broadcast of Great Day St Louis, on KMOV 4, I was directed to stand in this location for their cameras.  Scouting all I could see from this spot, I knew I must paint the wonderful farmhouse with all those pink umbrellas!  Many were attending the broadcast, enjoying coffee and breakfast delights.  As the broadcast started, Lynn shared the details of Augusta Plein Air Art Festival, and the cameras caught the live painting process. It is fun to see a painting develop during that short time.  As a Facebook Live interview started after the TV broadcast, this painting sold off the easel, and they discussed just how to do that in the field.  I loved painting here this morning, and so happy this painting will hang in the owner's lake house!  Painting number 3397 in 3397 days. 

Balducci Vineyard

Invited to paint for a live broadcast for Great Day St Louis during the Augusta Plein Air Festival, Teddy and I arrived early to set up.  Painting as a backdrop to promote the event, we were both interviewed on the TV broadcast and the Facebook Live broadcast that followed.  It was a fun morning spent with wonderful people, in an amazing place!  So glad to be part of the early morning fun!  This painting is now showing at Gallery Augusta.  Painting number 3058 in 3058 days.
