Places to Plein Air-La Crosse River Marsh

 

Miller's Bluff 8x10 oil unframed $75

Early this summer artists where invited to plein air at an event for the Nature Place in Myrick Park for their Heart of Art event.

I've always found lots of inspiration along the trails. Many of my earlier paintings featured the marsh. I'm thinking of returning my focus back there along the trails for Between the Bluffs Plein Air Festival. 

Stop by Myrick Park on Thursday, Oct. 15 from 10-1 for the Quick Paint Challenge you will definitely see artists painting.
