Plein Air Painting Opportunities

This photo is not mine, but I included it to show the incredible landscape painting opportunity at the Smyrski Farm in New Milford. The Weantinoge Land Trust and the Connecticut Plein Air Painters have joined together to launch a plein air painting event. The first paint out is April 16 - 19 (Earth Day) weekend! What a great way to celebrate this beautiful and mostly natural landscape! The featured land trust property for this weekend is the Smyrski Farm. Plein air artists are invited to participate and can learn more by visiting the Weantinoge Land Trust website and/or the Weantinoge Land Trust facebook page. The Connecticut Plein Air Painters are also posting information on their website. Several paintout dates are planned and unique properties will be open to plein air painters only each time. Later, a juried exhibition art sale/auction will be held. A percentage of the sale of art generated during the paint outs will benefit the land trust. Artists may e-mail me if they have questions, need directions, etc.
