Out & About Plein Air Painting Event Norfolk












Two weeks ago, I participated in the "Out & About" plein-air painting event in Norfolk. This 3rd annual show and sale at the Monticello Arcade (across from McArthur Mall) was organized by artist and gallery owner Karen Kinser. She does a fenomenal job getting a group of about 60 artists together who paint in Norfolk for 2 days and show & sell their wet paintings on the third day. Thank you Karen! We've been extremely lucky with the weather this year, it was beautiful, which makes being an outdoor painter a whole lot more fun! Here are the two pieces I painted, the beautiful door of a sunroom in the Freemason area and the pagoda next to Nauticus. I will definitely participate again next year....a great 'change-of-scenery' from the Eastern Shore marshes I'm used to seeing & painting and meeting new talented artist friends....life doesn't get any better!
