A Life's Passion

​“The greatest pleasure for me as an artist is the capture of the present moment, a little piece of Now.”
                                   ~ Joan Vienot
 “Plein air painting requires intense focus and present moment awareness in order to execute a scene before the light changes radically. I am compelled to share the beauty I see.

Commemorate your very special moment
​There is a difference, an intimacy, when the painting is created on-site, in the moment, en plein air, when the artist is immersed in the sights, the sounds, the decor, the music, the tenderness of the moment.
​Joan Vienot is that artist.
