Values with Murray Taylor

This week on The Plein Air Podcast, we sit down with artist Murray Taylor, a man who has spent an impressive amount of time chasing light, landscapes, and the elusive "just one more brushstroke."

We talk about painting outdoors (yes, including wind sabotage), the strange joy of hauling art supplies into nature like a very optimistic pack mule, and what actually happens when reality refuses to match your reference photo. Murray shares stories from the field, hard-earned wisdom, and the kind of insight that only comes from staring at a horizon until it blinks first.

Expect laughs, honest talk about the creative process, and a reminder that plein air painting is part art form, part endurance sport. If you've ever painted outside—or thought, "That looks peaceful"—this episode will gently correct you.
