Exhibiting during September and October are the Plein Air Landscape Painters (PALs). There are vastly different reasons artists chose to paint en plein air: exploring the landscape, experiencing the changing light, or simply enjoying the challenge of creating a painting outdoors. Whether you win or lose the battle with mother nature, it is the comraderie of painting together and capturing the essence of the landscape that makes the venture worthwhile. This exhibit will feature paintings by Christine Brunet Lecomte, Cheryl Dietz, Anna Escamilla, Connie Falk, Colleen Gregoire, Sandy Langelier, Connie Smith and Seung Youn. Concert dates for this exhibit are September 14th and October 19th.
