Plein Air at the Beach — Painting in the Park 2021

In June of 2021, we all gathered at Beach 2 to kick off the summer season with an afternoon painting en plein air. These outdoor sessions continued every other week for the duration of the summer as a way for us to feel connected, supported, and creative! In early fall of 2020, a few of us all met up at Beach 2 area to sketch and paint en plein air. It was a fabulous way for us to safely see one another and be creative in our own backyard on a beautiful day.
