"Plein Air Painting is a metaphysical skill capable of
creating an image that lets the viewer 'Be there in the
moment' when viewing the painting."
I've discarded the comfort of the studio and painting
from photographs, in order to be involved with all five
senses, getting the essence of a scene down on the
canvas, creating from nature, the best of all teachers,
with the truest of all colors ...
I have spent the last 30+ years with one simple focus -
attempting to capture the fleeting light as it defines a
shape, creates a mood or connects to the familiar, and
pass that 'never to be again' moment onto to you, the
viewer.
Some efforts are monumental in subject matter
because of the very nature of the subject but most are
everyday 'moments'.
The artist has conducted workshops for the PPA
School in Atlanta and for the Central Adirondack Art
Center in Old Forge, NY, and conducts an annual
workshop on Monhegan Island, Maine St, Lucia, West
Indies and numerous workshops in Niagara.
Baldini is a past program speaker for the PPA
International Convention and workshop instructor in
the Caribbean.
She is the founder and Executive Director of
International Plein Air Painters
