Frank's discussion, given by his wife, Paula Little, will show how light affects outdoor watercolor painting, morning, noon and night. Frank traveled the world, chasing down the light for 50 great years. The talk will include photos of paintings from China, Mexico, Guatemala, India, Morocco, the U.S., Turkey, the Caribbean, and more. This presentation will be a small selection of the 1,000 pieces which will hang in The A.R. Mitchell Museum February through March.

In Plein Air Painting, everything can, and does happen! This will be illustrated with the regaling of a few quirky incidents, which occurred while painting. How does a person get the courage to fly to an exotic land with 150 lbs. of equipment and start painting the local scene?

Some people are travelers and some are not. When you combine the wanderlust of travel and painting, this is the result.

Advice will be given to the neophyte plein air painter, and collector, with a question and answer period.
