Karen Cooper: 

It’s a plein air painter’s addiction, that striving to capture a fleeting moment, the feeling of being there when. Translating that minute in time, with paint, on canvas.

One of those moments, Maybe A Castle, has been selected for exhibit in Sea To Shining Sea, at Albrecht-Kemper Museum Of Art. Created at Adirondack Plein Air, I learned that traveling to paint is a great blessing indeed! And so the ongoing plan, explore as I go, paintbrush in hand.
