Randy and I went on a little trip last weekend to the eastern Oregon desert town of Fossil. Springtime in the desert is beautiful.Did a little plein air painting while I was there quite an intimidating Experience ! Not proud of what I accomplished but I will keep at it. #carolconnettstudio #plienair #acrylicpainting #fossiloregon #easternoregon https://www.instagram.com/p/CPG8Qc9Bhk5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Work in progress. I’m designing a little world where nature is at peace and not under threat by humans. #carolconnettstudio #sanctuary #climatechange #endangeredspecies #acrylicpainting #love #peace #surealism #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CPFJKLehCuz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday’s progress on my latest painting about pollination. I can’t wait till spring comes to the high Desert in Oregon. But March is usually not so pleasant here. I have to be patient, I’m not good at it! #carolconnettstudio #pollination #nature #bumblebee #acrylicpainting #thehivegalleryandstudios #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/CLzkzteBUHo/?igshid=1pyieozv0jdvy

I have started a new work and put aside my other unfinished painting for the time being. This painting when completed will be in the upcoming The Hive Gallery and Studio’s anniversary show in April. Playing with the idea of pollination, the dream of pollination; is it erotic for plants ? Anyway I have a long way to go with this, just in the beginning stages. #carolconnettstudio #pollinators #magiclandscape #springiscoming #bumblebee #nature #acrylicpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvo5Nuh0gj/?igshid=e10nsq2zpbcg
