The other day I had the total pleasure of joining Leslie on her ongoing plein air project. I met Leslie Baum in Chicago shortly before we moved to Dallas and was always sad to have missed hanging out more with this super talented artist. I feel such a kinship with how she thinks about pictorial and installation space.
Our session couldn’t have been more perfect: late summer beauty day full of breezes… fast and slow observations… and dishing on fav material discoveries.

I love Leslie’s project, it’s one of the most successful relational art pieces I know, multi entrance and beautiful in the truest sense. From a more specific angle – it’s a treat to be using Leslie’s materials when I paint with her in this project, given that I currently don’t have access to an abundance of paints and colors in my own practice, this is extra fun for me – so many colors!!

My painting date with Leslie was surreal!! I enjoyed myself so much. She made me feel so comfortable and gave me some really good advice. The view was so gorgeous and peaceful. Then we had a fantastic lunch. Love loved My time at Red Clover Ranch.
