Painting "en plein air" allows us to find beauty in unexpected places; often in the midst and shadows of the rapid and crowded development of our environment. It also helps to open our eyes and see our familiar and immediate environment in a new light. Born in 1956, Greg Little grew up drawing and painting the landscapes, gardens, and people around him in rural northern Alabama. As a teenager, he studied with Dorothy Willingham, who gave him an early introduction to various techniques, including the use of color and light; much of which his work still reflects. Moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1978, Greg was exposed to new possibilities, energies, and directions assisting in the development of his talents. While exhibiting in galleries and various other venues in the mid 1980's, he also began a career in the decorative arts, painting murals, and building furniture. This part of his career kept him busy for 18 years working in private homes throughout the southeast and brought him to Florida in 1992. Since 2004, he has devoted his full attention to "en plein air" painting; focusing on his process and the pursuit of ever changing light in an ever changing environment.
