The Importance Of Slowing Down Plein Air Painting @ DeGray Lake: The Behold Tour - EP1

I traveled over 4,000 miles with 19 family members and friends to behold the beauty of this world and paint it. The first stop of the Behold Tour was in Bismark Arkansas at DeGray Lake. I have already painted at this lake several times, and each time offers a new perspective. Each time I am refreshed by the beauty before me. There is beauty everywhere, you just have to look for it. Painting slows me down so I can observe and truly appreciate the beauty around me. It draws out gratitude in me for the simple miracles that are expressed in the light that reflects off of water or the shadows that dance across a landscape. Plus, I’m not alone. Sharing these amazing experiences with my friends and family just makes them richer. It’s really easy to miss the beautiful things in life If you don’t slow down to see them. So I am excited that you are joining me on this journey. As I travel across the United States, beholding beauty. ♥ MY SUPPLIES ♥ - Winsor and Newton Oil Pai
