Plein Air Painter Brian Stewart


(Video link) Brian Stewart of Minnesota left a career in advertising to focus on plein-air painting and guitar playing. The short video is by Steve Niedorf, part of a series he's doing called "By Hand," about people who do things with their hands.

What a wonderful video! And what beautiful work Brian does - his paintings are a delight to the eye! The beautiful colours, freshness, the story-telling and beauty in each of his paintings is so lovely. Thanks for sharing!

I love it. Connecting with Nature is one of the most basic things every human should do. I think most of the people dont realise how much it helps us.

As a MN native it's so wonderful to recognize some of those scenes...
Great video of an amazing painter. :)

Great video! I'm sad to add that Brian passed away in 2018 and is greatly missed by many. There's a lovely write-up about him here https://www.twincities.com/2018/10/06/local-painter-who-pioneered-modern-plein-air-method-dies-at-76/
