Artist’s Talk – Deerfield Impressions – A Plein Air Journey

Learning something new is one of the joys of life.  Learning to paint en plein air has been both a joy and an enormous challenge.  Planning, equipment, practice routine, bugs, working with changing light, and talking to folks you meet while working.  One year into becoming a plein air painter, I feel that I've barely scratched the surface.  Plein air has given me an entirelyy new perspective on what and how to paint.  I am looking forward to sharing this work-in-progress.  Adrienne Cremins This special program is part of the Friends of Tilton Library annual meeting.  For more information contact Sara Woodbury at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org
