Nov & Dec Artwalks: "Moments in the Light" Plein Air Painting

About this event

Plein Air painting is painting on location responding to the environment as it moves you. For us it’s not about the details or exact characteristics of a location but rather the interaction of color, the atmosphere, the feeling of standing out there. It's about the immediate moment of seeing which is in the brushwork of several of the artists, creating a dialogue with the space as you make the marks and see how they correspond to what's in front of you. There is no right or wrong because it is a very personal moment. It's not impressionism. It's not quite expressionism. But it's the immediacy of being alive.

Most of the paintings were done when Barry convinced one of the other artists to come painting with him. Creating a synergy from the overlapping influence on each other while keeping a distinct POV.
