It happened around this time last year too. Something about the air.
The air gets plain.
It doesn’t feel plain to me. Unless maybe that means there aren’t any storms in the air.
If that’s it I’ll go for plain air all the time.
There are some other people who must like plain air too, because they show up in Sedona just for the air at this time of year.
I find them on my trails doing strange things.
I thought my person took a long time getting pictures with her camera, but these people take forever.
They don’t even use a camera, they bring all their paints with them.
And when they finally get finished, they don’t even have to put a little card in their computer – their picture is already there.
Wait a minute. What, person?
What do you mean, it’s not plain air, it’s plein air?
What’s the difference. It sounds the same to me.
Plein air is when artists paint outside? Oh.
And I met an artist who is way more famous than me?
I’m a pretty famous dog. He must be really famous.
He has his own website, and it’s better than my blog? No way!
I need some votes here. Check out Tom Lynch’s website at http://www.tomlynch.com/ and tell me my blog is better.
I guess it really doesn’t matter anyway. What’s more important is that…
my new friend Tom gave me loves.

Ku, I’ve been trying to get my person to let me do that for years, but she won’t let me near her paints. And now that she’s got that camera she hasn’t even gotten her paints out for a long time. I know, I’ll go dig her paints out myself.

Now that picture looks like a mutual admiration society.
Plain to see that on several planes there’s plenty of plein airs for all heir’s hairs

Oh, Bongo, thank you for introducing Tom’s site to us! Great to have such an artist give you loves and vice versa of course! By the way maybe he could could give you some painting lessons. I seem to recall some art on a door you did a while ago! 🙂

Marina, my person says I could learn a lot from Tom. He’s teaching a workshop in Sedona in a few days. Maybe I can talk my person into letting me go. My person really likes his work – especially his landscapes.

Mr. Lynch has some beautiful paintings on his page but I bet he doesn’t have a Sherlock Holmes hat and I bet he doesn’t solve mysteries like you do Bongo…Thank you for teaching mea new phrase today…I’d never hear “plein air” before and I love learning new words

Gizmo, maybe I could get Tom to paint a picture of me wearing my Detective Dog hat. New words are fun. My person says she’s known what that means for awhile, but I just started finding some of those artists on my trails last year.

Bumpy Road, I’ll take loves in any way, shape, or form – but little girl loves are still the best.
