Plein Air: February 8 in Garrett Park

Plein Air: Garrett Park

Paint Long Winter Afternoon Shadows

Please join us for a Plein Air painting event on Sunday, February 8.  We will gather in front of the Penn Place Gallery building in Garrett Park, home also to Black Market Bistro and the Garrett Park Post Office.  This town is nestled among established trees and offers views of railroad tracks, trains, hilly winding neighborhood streets, charming bungalow cottages and gorgeous Victorian homes.  On sunny afternoons the long shadows cast along roadways lend themselves to dramatic compositions.
