Allure Art Center brought 35 fine art plein air painters from across the Mid-Atlantic area to paint at locations across Middlesex and Lancaster counties last week. The weeklong event, Plein Air Unleashed, culminated in a preview reception and exhibit of the works created. Hundreds of patrons attended the Deltaville exhibit, and many took home beautiful works of original art depicting the scenic region.
The plein air painters worked outside in the elements in a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, watercolor and pastels to create 120 works of art last week.
This year, Allure Art Center teamed up with the Garden Tours of the Northern Neck and Middlesex to have the plein air painters at many of the garden tour homes painting, allowing tour patrons the opportunity to watch them create art in the garden settings.
