Through the rest of October, Open Door Gallery will be displaying their Plein-Aire painting Art Show .

Plein air painting is the act of painting outdoors from nature. This is in contrast to painting inside in the studio. It is the best way for an artist to learn to see the true colors of nature and also to capture the mood and feeling of a place. Artists throughout history have gone outdoors to paint to better understand the landscape. Corot and Monet were two well known artists who worked this way.

Join us for a reception on Sunday, October 16, from 10 a.m.- noon in the Walnut Room, to celebrate the show!
