Mehdi Fallahian, plein air painter from Palm Springs

Every August 6th I try to paint a memorial on the anniversary of the bomb dropping on

Hiroshima, and title it the same, "That Sheep May Safely Graze"

Medhi happened to call me to see if I wanted to join him as he was visiting his doctor son and doctor daughter in law in Waterbury Center!  No way...last time I saw him we painted together in Palm Springs probably 8 years ago!  He spotted some work of mine in Artisans Gallery in town here.  We also painted with Terry Masters in Palm Springs, who now runs the Desert Painter Gallery there as well as teaches Plein Air workshops.

Warren Covered Bridge and Crib Dam - #81411

20 x 20 inches Oil on canvas framed . Available from Parade Gallery, Warren Vermont



Here was my setting for the Great Plein Air Paint Out on Saturday. It's in process.
I painted it already framed for the 3:30- 5:30 Exhibit.

A fun day talking to folks who dropped by to talk about the process.

Emily's Covered Bridge, Stowe

12" x 12" Oil

Quick study done in June before I went to my first
Frank Mason critique in Stowe, Vermont.
Thought I would get back into this but
still haven't tackled the dirt road in the foreground.

Warren Dam

24" x 24" Oil

the plein air this size and water may be a tad overload.
This just takes on too many shadow and light changes
to work as well as I'd like. Great spot though
