PAINTING during a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE! 🎨

- This video is a SUPER RAW, surprisingly emptional peek into my day watching the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, and making artwork alongside (and about) the eclipse. It's a bit of a throwback style for me in that it's not super polished or planned, but rather a laid-back vlog style video. It's also one of my first experiences with plein air painting! All in all, I'm so glad I was able to document this magnificent day, and I know this is one of those videos I'll be looking back at as the years go by because it was truly one of the most magical experiences of my life.
Did any of you get a chance to see this eclipse? Have you been lucky enough to see any total eclipses in the past? I'd love to hear about your experiences!

Hahaha you’re too kind!! Thanks for being here 🥹🫶🏼
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us!!! Also, just letting you know you’re an amazing painter!!!! 😊I love how you painted the forest! What a cool spot to be in ❤ And I was also moved with you !
🥹🫶🏼 thank you so much!! I’ve loovveedd working on my painting skills! I still have much to learn, but it’s such a blast every time I take out my painting supplies.
Seeing the eclipse was honestly the most magical moment of my life, and I'm so glad I was able to see it from your perspective too! The excitement and awe is exactly what I felt, and that's what's so beautiful about an eclipse; it brings us all together in a way nothing else can. If you do become eclipse chasers, make sure to bring backup flaming arrows next time!
I totally agree! Magical is the best way to describe it! It was truly the most awestruck I’ve ever felt. It was such a beautiful, humbling experience, and I’m so glad that so many folks were able to see it 🫶🏼 Also - lol! You’re so right. We mustn’t forget the flaming arrows next time 😆
Hi Sarah! I loved this video so much. It was so cool to see your eclipse experience from a tiny cabin in the snow-covered forest of Vermont. We (as you know) traveled to Ohio from Michigan to see it. I actually got a sunburn on my face during the event. It was so hot and it felt so good.
As the moon appeared and the temperature dropped, the lighting changed so dramatically.... we all took notice. It was eerily quiet. It was like being on a set of a movie. The colors changed from brown, to gray, to blue and then to the SPECTAULAR bright white as the sun reappeared. It was so beautiful. Ayva, our black lab even noticed there was something special happening. She stayed between my legs or Joe's legs most of the time. I wish she could talk.....
I love your painting of the experience of the woods and the eclipse. Such a great way to capture the emotion and your experience.
And that cabin....woah. I loved it! I was hoping you would make snow ice cream....😄
Thanks for sharing this experience with us all! Keep creating beautiful work. We love it!!
💜 Mom
I’m so glad we got to share this experience, even though there were a few states in between us! I wouldn’t have known about the eclipse if it wasn’t for you and dad telling me in December! That’s so cool that even Ayva knew that something weird was going on. Wasn’t it just beautiful? I found it to be a surprisingly emotional experience. I really hope to be able to see another eclipse one day!
Im a bit late 😅 but, what a beautiful experience ! Thanks for sharing!
Wish I could have seen it, thank you for recording it for all to see.
It was truly so so magical 🫶🏼
This was an awesome video !!! Love your representation of the eclipse ❤ I’ve joined a FB for eclipse chasers 😂😂 I got 98.3% and it was amazing ! I watched it live on NASA’s coverage of the path across the US…it was amazing for me right now but I know it’s totalilty different in person !! Thanks for sharing your experience ! Love the little cabin and the seclusion to experience it ! Your forest painting was gorgeous too!!
Omg I need to join that FB group hahaha. 98.3% is still incredible!! It’s just such a magical experience!
Thank you for capturing the eclipse like that, it was surreal! I can’t wait to see the next one in 2044😅
Or - hear me out - let’s go to Iceland or Mallorca in August 2026 to see that one??
Fun fact - when painting en plein air in the snow, you can add a smidge of ethanol (such as vodka) to paint water and the water won't freeze. Handy especially if you like water brushes 😂
Also I too am in Boston area.. 100% if you're able to paint on the Greenway it's sooo nice. There's a dam on the Watertown stretch and its *chefs kiss*
That’s a great tip!! Also - your thoughts about painting on the Greenway make a lot of sense to me! That really is such a beautiful area. I don’t often make it downtown (especially in the winter lol) but I should make a point to!
@@pepostudios it's worth it! And can be tough plein air at times (if EVERYTHING is bright green... value studies can be tricky!) But it's absolutely delightful. Lots of birds and good paint spots.
