I was asked to give a talk at the Opening of The Ohio Plein Air Exhibition, at the Springfield Museum of Art. The talk was to be on the history of the Ohio Plein Air Society (OPAS) and then a talk on the art on exhibit. I did a lot of research to tie in the history of OPAS with the history of plein air painting. That was fun and although nervous, I did enjoy giving the talk. The audience did seem to have a positive response to what I had to say.
Below is one of my two paintings in the exhibition, Marblehead Field. This was painted at the September, OPAS competition. Enjoy.
