In this weekly series Kelly Kane, Editor-in-Chief of Plein Air Magazine, shares a favorite painting and artist quote from a recent issue.

Kelly Kane’s Pick of the Week: “Old Carlsbad”

“Process-wise, I’d say I’m a slower painter than I was 10 years ago. I’m trying to say more with less paint, being more intentional with each mark. That can be hard for me at times so I’m definitely plotting out and planning my paintings more than I did back then. I mean, I’ve always kind of had a “plan,” but I tended to be a more “straight from the hip and go” sort of artist, especially when it came to plein air. Now I’m doing more research, checking out what’s the best time of day for light and maybe looking into the history of an area before I paint it.”
— Scott W. Prior, “Then & Now”
