The Plein Air Paint-out at DuPont Circle in February appealed to a lot of artists but the snowfall forced them to quit before finishing their paintings. Here is a second chance to paint this historic traffic circle again, and this time in Spring! 

The traffic circle is located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue NW, P Street NW, and 19th Street NW. The Circle is named for Samuel Francis Du Pont (1803-1865), a rear admiral in the United States Navy, and a member of the prominent Du Pont family. With dozens of bistros, bars, boutiques and museums, The neighborhood offers a treasure of inspiration for artists. The Fountain itself offers classical beauty in a contemporary setting.
