St. Lucia Plein air painter workshop - Jan. 2010
 After an absence of a few years, Charles & I are returning to St. Lucia in January 2010.
My husband and I taught painting and photography workshops there each January for 8 years.
The photo workshops were for Professional Photographers of America, where other professional photographers could take courses towards a degree. The painting workshops, were an opportunity for me to meet artists that live in St. Lucia, like now, IPAP Regional Ambassador Alcina Nolley, a very talented artist, as well as artists who traveled to the island for the workshops.
I will be doing
2, 3 and four day plein air painting workshops
all info about the workshop & for registration is at
ST. Lucia, West Indies Workshops CLICK HERE
We're looking forward to going back to visit
all the friends we have made over the years.
Don't put off JOY...
the minute you make a decision to do something
wonderful for yourself,
you experience JOY,
far ahead of the experience in 'reality'

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 Painter- International Plein Air Painters- October Feature Artist
 Susan Knight Smith
Susan fine art landscapes, portraits, still life
Susan Knight Smith works primarily in pastel, a medium that allows her to combine her love of expressive drawing with vibrant color. In addition to landscapes, she paints portraits, figure studies, still life, intimate garden scenes, and particularly enjoys plein air painting, or painting out of doors. Susan’s paintings reflect her love of nature, her fascination with the juxtaposition of colors and the play of light, and an enchantment with particular or unique people, places, or things. Of her work, she simply says, "I paint what delights me." She finds much to delight her in the metro Atlanta area where she lives, or near the E. Tennessee home where she grew up. She has also found inspiration for many of her paintings on trips to France, Italy, Mexico, the Arizona desert, and the coast of Maine.

Plein Air Painter - IPAP Feature Artist Phil Chadwick
Plein Air Painter - IPAP Feature Artist see page HERE Artist Statement
I live and paint out of passion for the natural world. I am inspired by nature, family and fellow artists to see beyond the surface and to share the experience – a vision in pigment and texture. My immediate goal is to extract the maximum amount of inspiration from the moment and have fun doing it while surrounded by and immersed in the natural elements. Somehow the soul of the scene finds its way on to the canvas.
My simple desire is to make the next painting my new favourite and to improve in capturing the essence of the subject with lots of colour and bold strokes!

Plein Air Painter IPAP Feature Artist Laurel Wetzork
Plein Air Painter Lauel Wetzork Artist's Statement
I am drawn to the beauty in nature, where colors and contrasts live. This beauty is what I wish to share with the viewers and collectors of my artwork. On location, I work with three different mediums: oils, acrylics, and pastels. I choose oils for their lush color and dramatic potential, acrylics for their bright almost 'digital' color, and pastels for the impressionist feel and softly vibrant colors.
Life is full of contrast: beauty and ugliness, good and evil, joy and desperate grief. I choose to celebrate Nature in all her captivating and delightful moods. Laurel will be teaching a plein air painting workshop March 29 - April 3, 2010 in the Santa Barbara, CA area. Please email her if you are interested. MORE INFO ABOUT LAUREL HERE

Plein Air Painters - July IPAP Feature Artist Joshua Been

Joshua Been A Statement of my Work
My paintings are one-of-a-kind pages in the visual journal of my life. Through design, my paintings are viewed best with some distance, while the brushwork brings you in for a closer look. It is the elegant randomness of form and light that I dance with, and I always attempt to do the Universe justice. I hope to remind and inspire others to take the time to really see how amazing this existence is. I am very fortunate for the gift of placing these "reminders" in to the lives of others, and will never take that gift for granted.
