A PLACE for the ARTS
​presents

The Highlands
​En Plein Air 

Second Annual Exhibition

From November 5th till December 4th

​About the Exhibition

The Highlands En Plein Air is an exhibition showing at APFTA during the month of November. Admission is free and there is no obligation to make a purchase when visiting the Gallery.  Everyone is welcome to view the artwork. 
En Plein Air meaning “in the open air” is used to describe the act of painting outside on location. This show has paintings, painted in the Highlands, by eleven experienced outdoor artists: ​
Elizabeth Popham
John Christie
Leif Peng
​Wendy Peng
Elizabeth Bates
​
Kathy Haycock
Linda Sorensen
Keith Thirgood
Gail Cooper
​Manuela Schmidlechner

Sally Svenningson
Painting outside is very different from painting in a sterile studio. Paint dries much faster or not at all depending on the weather, wind blows easels over, the light is constantly changing, and biting insects are a constant distraction.  All these things affect the outcome of the painting.  These challenges tend to make plein air paintings more alive and vibrant.

Some of the artists will be at A Place for the Arts on November 5 between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Come and chat with us!
