Roos is a plein air painter in a climate that most would find very challenging.  I know living here on the Gulf Coast of Florida and looking at Roos videos of her painting in the wind chilled beaches of Holland, that I get cold just in the viewing.  In listening to her from an interview on film I understand better why it is so important for her and other plein air artists to work out of doors away from the studio.  They are intuitive artist and being there with their subject looking and making decisions on the spot make the work more real and fresher.  I think of the impressionist who also felt the same way, and an American artist by the name of Walter Anderson(click) ( who strapped himself to a palm tree to paint the effects of a hurricane), a Mississippi artist.  To be in touch with nature and its ever changing moment, I think takes discipline yet an amazing openness...almost two opposites at one time.  I think being an artist of any kind is not for the faint of heart..it takes discipline, fortitude, ability to withstand criticism day to day, ability to face rejection on an ongoing basis, yet to continue to believe in oneself in a deep and abiding way.  I think Roos Schuring has found a way to do just that with great success.

MEET ROOS SCHURING 

I want you to meet an artist from the Netherlands I came across on line.  I love her work and think you will also. His work is, too me, impressionist landscape.  It reminds of the master painters of that period, loose yet skilled.  I talked to Roos on line and she agreed to let me share her information.  I put a link for you when you click on her name above.  We will ask her to do an article and post for you as well.  You can like her page on Facebook and her is a link to her blog: Roos Schuring Blog. 

This is an excerpt from Roos site describing her experience:

"Having decided to become a painter at a very young age, Roos Schuring studied Graphic Design ('91-'97) aiming to earn a steady income. Her art business was founded in 1996. After a few years combining the two, she made a turn to painting full time, 14 years ago. The last 10 years have been dedicated to plein air painting exclusively.

Roos Schuring is much appreciated for her loose brushwork, mixtures of greys and natural palette. Her fearless attitude while painting under (extreme) weather circumstances, brought lot's of visibility on various platforms, such as in articles in newspapers and magazines, on tv and in social media."
