Dear all,
We are having a large 5 day paint out here in Gainesville. There will be 35 top Southern plein air painters here, including our own Diane Johnson, DJ, Brenda Hofreiter, and they even let riff raff like me paint. LOL
The publicity has bee tremendous. Two magazines and all the newspapers have produced stories with pictures of artists and there are posters featuing different paintings. There will be a follow up show at two local galleries for a month. Let's hear it for plein air painting in Florida and all we have worked so hard to become.
Love,
Linda

I can't tell you how jealous I am. I wish I could at least be there and see everyone. :(

I sure hope that this will be something that will be done again and again. The more plein air painting is put out to the public, the more interest there will be and the more SALES!

Thanks for all the work you put into this, Linda. And.... thanks for always keeping everyone posted.

I hope in all the excitement...someone or a few will be taking pictures, and that a thread comes that shows off the event. Perhaps an article for WC!

have fun...!!!!
My regards,

Fantastic! Y'all have worked hard to accomplish this, and you deserve the recognition. Hey llis, let's move to Florida! :D

Please do make an article, when you have time, outlining how you got the group started and how you organized the paint-outs, it would be very helpful to those in other areas who might be inspired to do the same thing.

That is just awesome... you must be so proud of yourself (i know I would be)... but what magazines were down there?
