plein air painter - Phil Panagrosso

 

Painting is an adventure. Going outdoors to paint, whether in the wilderness, the country, a village or the city, compounds and enhances the adventure, making everything more risky, more fun and a trip into the unknown. Each day spent painting out of doors is memorable.

PLEIN AIR FEATURE ARTIST
James D. Southerland, M.F.A.
Professor of Art


"No art experience equals the challenge and joy of painting en plein air - alla prima; to record the impression of a time and place while painting on location.

Thousands of values, textures, and colors are seen by the human eye.
Plein air paintings express them within a limited palette and an economy of brush work.

Artistic style is dependent on the ability to observe, interpret, and respond through an honest, perhaps undeniable, individual connection to the formal elements and principles of visual art.

In the best of plein air painting, the artist's intuitive formalism and objective perception merge, creating works of art
which are legitimate, vital, and original, sustained not by formula, or system, but in the process of painting and the passion for it."

International Plein Air Painters November Feature Artist
BARBARA CHURCHLEY, IPAP

FEATURE ARTISTArtist Statement

Barbara Churchley’s paintings reflect her personal connection with the western landscape she lives in. Her paintings in pastel and oil are interpretive and expressive. Her passion for the outdoors has taken her to the summit of all 53 ranked 14,000’ peaks in Colorado. She has explored the landscape “up close and personal” through multiple marathons, hikes, and backpack trips. Churchley finds inspiration painting en plein air in western Colorado where she lives, to the far corners of the world where she frequently travels, pursuing her other passion of birdwatching.

Plein Air Painters - June Feature Artist Linda Richichi

ARTIST STATEMENT* 2009

For me, painting is a pilgrimage — a journey into the mystery of creation and, through that sacred path, ultimately a journey into the deepest reaches of my soul. If in my painting I am successful in reaching my goal, then I see it as a bridge into you.

Whether I am painting in the breathtaking Hudson Valley, near Tuscan castles, or on a sun-drenched beach in Maui, my intent is to capture the underlying brilliance — the spiritual energy — that underlies all of nature. At this point of my development, painting en plein air, absorbed into nature’s grand silence of communication, with all of my senses acting as ready receptors to whatever might be presented to me, seems to most further my mission of discovery. Painting in nature has heightened my awareness of the need to take care of this sacred ground.

With intuition leading the way, I avoid focusing on details to allow for a total immersion of self into the “greater” self that surrounds me. Slowly, the world of form and color merges and shifts, separates and impresses, the whole dissolving into an insistent mood of pure energy. It is this distillation of both what is seen and not seen that I attempt to capture on my canvas. When a mixture of color and form resonates in my being, when I feel that I am at one with nature and that my painting is reflecting that union, then I feel a sense of spiritual awakening. The magic is there and the painting is complete.

The materials I select are those that leave the least amount of waste behind. The Mini Circles Collection are painted with the new Golden Open Acrylics on wooden disks that were saved by the Hudson Valley Materials Exchange in New Paltz, NY from going into the waste stream. I am always on the lookout for products that are of the highest quality and green.

As founder of the World Tour of Contemporary Landscape Artists, it was my intention that this group act as stewards of the land as well as the art acting as a bridge between countries. An upcoming book will feature the works of the special places these artists have selected

In the end, it is my hope that through my painting I have passed along a respect and love of our land and the need to take care of her.

April IPAP Feature plein air painter

Jose Rodriquez

Artist Statement
I have been painting and drawing for over 25 years, including 18 years as a graphic artist/designer.
A variety of creative projects have enriched my artistic skills throughout my art career.
Even though I still paint studio work, I get most of my enjoyment from painting outdoors. I feel so inspired when I am surrounded by mother nature and the challenges she brings. I am very proud when people walk by and see my painting in progress and ask many questions of the painting process. If I am not painting with my group of the Ocala Plein Air Painters, I am usually painting from aboard my pontoon
boat. I am fascinated by the waters and the beautiful colors around me that mother nature displays.
I am obsessed with wanting to paint all that I see and want others to see this also.
There is nothing more fascinating and rewarding than a finished painting that was painted on location.
