"Art is one of the sources through which the soul expresses itself and inspires others." - Meher Baba

Artist Barbara Brown used a road at Meher Mount as the focus of her en plein air painting.
She visited with a group of other art students working with instructor Jennifer McChristian who brings a class each spring to paint at Meher Mount.
“Art is one of the sources through which the soul expresses itself and inspires others.”
I am traditionally a studio painter. But with COVID, I moved outside. I find I enjoy watching the light move, feeling the elements and being in the open air.
Painting outside is harder because the light changes as the sun moves across the sky or the wind moves the trees. The view is changing constantly. The shadows at noon are very different from the shadows hours later when you finish a painting.
In this view of a path surrounded by trees, there’s an aura of mystery. The viewer is encouraged to create her own story about where the path leads.
