Estes Park 2002

Painting from Life
The Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters First Show
For a week in late August, forty-five invited artists from ten different states painted plein air (on-location) within Estes Park, Big Thompson Canyon, and the Rocky Mountain National Park areas of Colorado.  Loch Vale Fine Art of Estes Park hosted the event.  Artists began arriving on Friday, August 23rd, and an artists reception was held Saturday, August 24thth.  The event was officially plein air with artist's canvases being stamped on the back to verify that no previous work was done.  175 paintings were entered into the event.  The shows' reception was Saturday, August 31srt, and the paintings were on display the month of September.  Thanks to all the artists, art enthusiasts, and patrons that made this event possible.
