Plein Air Paintings from Glacier National Park and Surrounding Areas, Montana
 
These oil plein air paintings are completed on scene, from life, in a single session, during wilderness excursions both humble and grand in the artist's local area at the Crown of the Continent in Northwest Montana. Falina carries her custom handmade miniature pochade box along on all her hikes and climbs as well as casual outings to both remote and familiar areas. She finds the journey to the vistas to be an integral part of the process to center her into a fit state to complete this challenging art form. She works with oils on small 3x5, 4x6, or 5x7 pieces of carton paper to paint directly from life in all the elements. This deliberate practice is performed to gain mastery of effortless observation and painting itself. Falina focuses on what IS and attempts to translate it directly to paint in order to render a moment that she had the privilege to be truly present for.
