American Artist Appreciation Month

In honor of Artist Appreciation Month, I'm teaming up with Patience Brewster and am sharing one of my favorite artists, Albert Bierstadt. Patience is an artist herself and creates whimsical Christmas ornaments.

Bierstadt was a 19th century landscape painter who created epic works featuring the American West. Here are a few of his paintings:

My Plein Air Painting Setup

I built this using an aluminum clipboard mounted onto a tripod. I drilled a hole through the bottom for the tripod mount. It's held open to the desired position with picture wire and a clip, and the water container on the side is held in place by another clip. It works great and is very stable.
