My upcoming plein air painting tour in northern Ireland is filling fast, but there are still a few spots left! It's an amazing opportunity to spend a week in a Georgian manor while painting and experiencing traditional Irish food, music and culture. There's still time, but it will most likely sell out well before our travel date in June! https://www.travelfevertours.com/painting-green-artist-workshop-in-northern-ireland If you have any questions, you can reach out to me directly through my CONTACT PAGE, or you can contact Travel Fever Tours directly at [email protected]

As 2024 is coming to a close, I want to say Happy New Year to everyone! 2024 was a very exciting year as I visited many beautiful places and made a lot of new friends. I traveled to Bermuda and fell in love with the colors as I painted there. I graduated from the Florence Academy of Art and spent a magical summer in Italy--seeing Rome, Venice, and Pisa while living in Florence. When I got back from Italy, I traveled to Michigan to appear as a guest on one of my favorite shows: J Schwanke's Life in Bloom. In the fall, I took a course in Japanese calligraphy and I even got published in a Japanese newspaper! I have a lot of projects for 2025, which I am very excited about. I will be traveling during the spring and fall to teach international plein air WORKSHOPS in Ireland, France, Italy and Spain. And I am busy developing my own instructional painting and travel program titled: Eric En Plein Air™ which will be on American Public Television (APT). I always dreamed about traveling, teaching and doing what I love and I'm so thankful to my loved ones, family and friends for all of the support. I'm looking forward to seeing where life takes me next!  I am very excited to announce that I'm currently developing a series called Eric En Plein Air - an instructional painting and travel program for American Public Television (APT). I can't wait to share more as this develops!  Photo by Sarah Flannery Photography  I was very surprised and excited when my calligraphy teacher, Ms. Denri Takai, texted me to check out Shukan New York Seikatsu (a free weekly newspaper). I went over to Jmart in Ridgewood to pick up a copy and turned to page 14 to find my own calligraphy! It's part of a calligraphy contest, but I'm not sure about what it says since I cannot read Japanese; my sensei is currently in Japan so I will ask her about translating it when she returns. I showed the owner at Jmart and she was very impressed and surprised that I did that. I told her that I'm a painter, but this is my first time studying shodo. Jmart has great food, snacks, sushi and other Japanese items so if you're around northern NJ, check them out! This paper is available online also: https://nyseikatsu.com/editions/988/988.pdf |
