Plein Air Artists in Nature's Theatre

Show runs 7/23 – 9/12

Nine “Paaint” (Plein Air Artists in Nature’s Theatre) artists show their work in this show. The group meets weekly at different outdoor locations under the assistance of co-ordinator and lifelong art instructor, Dorothy Orr.

They comment, “Unlike the studio experience, when we paint outside we are not in control of our environment and it can get interesting out there. Once last summer, when painting along a river’s edge the wind blew Nancy’s painting right into the water. She fished it out and after it dried we decided a good drenching only made the painting better. It’s only water, after all. This is why we paint “En Plein Air.””

Artists: Nancy Beswick, Lois Bloom, Melanie Hirdler, Susan Lewis, Laurie McKnett, Dorothy Orr, Pam Shelly, Cathy Smith, and Dani Willis.
