  Last year's event drew artists from all over the Globe. Many new plein air painting groups were formed directly from this event. Plein air artists seek the quality of natural light and atmosphere outdoors.  Their art work is in direct response to the beauty they find in nature.  They use a variety of media, from oils, through watercolors and pastels. =0D=0A=
