Adam Houston demonstrates painting Historic architecture – Bern Street & Pollock St – New Bern

Since buying my first set of oil paints while still in high school, I’ve been alternately fascinated and frustrated by Plein Air painting. There is nothing quite like being out in nature and capturing the landscape live as you experience it. While I’ve had the opportunity to paint across the US and Europe, I’m most at home in the South. Growing up, I spent my summers running around the mountains and hills of Western North Carolina and developed a connection with the land that I seek to express in my work.
