What a year of plein air painting!
Starting in January, with temps below freezing and the wind whipping through the air, I ventured out to join the Northern Colorado group of Plein Air Artists of Colorado. Each Friday, we met in a designated site to paint regardless of the rain, sleet, snow or sunshine! Although, I didn’t make it every week (and there were times that I ventured out on my own or with one or two others). I’m grateful for the experience, the opportunity to learn from others, and most importantly the friendships that have been made.
Out of 50+ plein air paintings, I’ve chosen seven of my favorite pieces to share at the 3rd Annual “Chasing Light” Plein Air Invitational that will be held in Fort Collins.
You are invited to attend!
