LaNell Arndt

LaNell N. Arndt, a native Texan, is a signature member of American Impressionist Society, and a signature member of Oil Painters of America and Outdoor Painters Society.
The discovery of painting from life, many painting trips with artist friends, and the pure enjoyment of the outdoor landscape are the foundation of works created. Finding the incredible lights and shadows as they appear all around us are inspiration for the next painting "en plein air".
I have painted all over Texas, many places in the U.S. and in Spain, France and the Netherlands, but am aware that each new day brings another source of light and energy for painting our of doors". Larger pieces are created in the studio working from outdoor sketches. When at home on a miniature donkey and cattle ranch near Brenham with husband, Bob, I often just paint "my backyard".
