I know that we still have more winter months ahead but, I am excited to be planning my spring and summer schedule!
  I just booked a flight because I'm heading back to Europe in May for my plein air workshop in the south of France.  This week-long painting workshop includes beautiful excursions while staying at the 4 ☆ Garrigae Distillerie Hotel in Pézenas.  There are still some spots open if you'd like to join us! :)
  Beyond this workshop, I am also planning a few other workshops and classes which will be local to NJ or in the US.  I'm looking to offer workshops that will specifically coincide with my TV series, Eric En Plein Air.  If you'd like to learn more about these EEPA workshops, please visit: https://www.ericenpleinair.com/workshops
  Speaking of that, we have started location scouting for Season 2 of Eric En Plein Air.  Season 1 will be airing in a few months nationwide and on the PBS app, but producing a TV series requires that everything be filmed in advanced.  We also just opened a SHOP PAGE on our website which will offer products to help support our program.  Check it out when you have a moment!
  And to add to the plein air fun, I will be attending a few plein air events during the summer.  I don't have a full list of the events yet, but I will share that ASAP.  I'm just so excited about all the upcoming opportunities and I can't wait to connect with more artists!
  That about does it for now!  More things will be coming up soon so make sure to check for updates on my blog here and also on our EEPA BLOG PAGE.

  Thank you to everyone who signed up for our upcoming painting tour in the south of France!  I'm very excited to be returning to France for this full week of painting and fun excursions.  See you there!

  As a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I receive a copy of The Pennsylvania Gazette delivered every few months.  I was flipping through this latest issue and enjoying an article titled, Who Will Own Your Digital Twin?  A very interesting article about the changing legal landscape in an age of AI generated content.
  I decided to take a peek at the Alumni notes and WOW!  There I am!  With a write-up about my current TV series: Eric En Plein Air!  I didn't know this would be covered in the alumni notes so seeing it was a delightful surprise.  Thank you to my alma mater for sharing this update!

  Thank you so much to everyone who attended my presentation tonight at the Allendale Garden Club.  It was great to meet everyone and it's always an honor to share my journey with others.  I'm looking forward to sharing more as 2026 continues!
