Medium Description

Oil on canvas

Artist Description

This plein air painting was completed in New York, while attending John Coffer’s “Camp Tintype” 2025, which he hosts on his farm. In the heat of August, a group of 40 – 60 tintype photographers were camping in a cow field in Amish country, in a weekend of artistic exploration. While my husband spent his days learning how to navigate the difficulties of the wet plate process outdoors, I brought my easel and paints – and set about to capture the countryside. I spent my days watching the cows move over the farm, seeking cool shade in the tree lines, with the distant Appalachian mountains ever present.
