Laura Erekson alla Plein Air

A good friend of mine let Eve, Oak, and myself along with my niece Claire and nephew Isaac tag along while she painted a 4x4 foot painting at Riverbend Park (Potomac River). She paints in ink and then pours water over it creating a really cool affect. Here is a link to her website where you can see one of her finished pieces.

Super cool. We all wanted to become artists on the spot.

P.S. See if you can find Oak and me in the painting.
