FAYETTEVILLE - Discov - er the vibrant world of plein air painting as Arts for Rural Texas presents Plein Air Perspectives: A Texas Trio, featuring the capti - vating works of Julie Sanderson, Kathy Hammond, and Lisette McClung. These talented artists, fueled by a love for travel, seek beauty in scenes that forge a con nection to places and people.
The process of painting en plein air, a French expression meaning "in the open air," is a testament to the trio's dedication. These artists leave the four walls of their studio behind to paint outdoors, battling changing light, wind, bugs, and the occasional snake!
Immersed primarily in oil, these three artists weave their
own exclusive styles, wheth - er employing thin, transparent washes or indulging in luscious, thick strokes. Their medium of choice allows them to authen - tically express the essence of a scene. While the three work in the same plein air process, each of their creative styles and inspi- rations are unique. The exhibition showcases plein air painting inspired by the trio's adventures across various Texas cities. ARTS and the trio invite you to the artists' recep - tion and exhibition opening on Sunday, Jan. 14, from 2 to 4 p.m. at ARTS' Ross Gallery locat - ed at 114 North Live Oak St. in Fayetteville, to see how the artists captured the unique charm of Fayetteville and other Texas towns.
The trio welcomes the public to join them Saturday, Jan. 13, from 9 a.m. to noon. on Fayetteville’s town square for a community plein air paint-out.
Bring your supplies and paint along with the artists, or sit back and observe the creative process. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or an aspiring artist, watching artists at work can be a delightful and inspiring experience.
