An exhibition juried by Ron Donoughe showcasing work from our Plein Aire Paint-Out event in the spring.
Take a walk through the park with us as we reminisce on spring-time and the start of Mellon Park’s beautiful views.
What Is Plein Air Painting? Simply stated, it is painting directly from life. It comes from the French phrase, “en plein aire” – meaning in the open air. Something happens when an artist is confronted directly with the subject. I think it has something to do with the spirit of a place. I believe that spirit can makes its way into the artist and the work itself.
