Join painters from across the Mid-Atlantic for a week- long painting festival in Middlesex and Lancaster Counties Virginia. We wil be painting the region's beautiful scenery “en plein air”. The public may observe award winning plein air artists working in a variety of mediums, out in natural settings around the region, striving to catch the light in their interpretations of the scenery.

Wet paint preview reception **Friday night at 6pm.**Saturday exhibiting artists are on site demo and greet patrons. The exhibit will be open to the public Saturday 9am - 4pm to view and purchase works. Local and regional community artists are encouraged to come out during the week to paint along with the exhibiting artists.

I will be joining regional painters for Allure Art Center's 8th annual Plein Air Unleashed. This will be a fun week of painting the wetlands, marinas and countryside in Middlesex County, Virginia. Located along the Chesapeake Bay and bordered by the Rappahannock and Piankatank Rivers, the county boasts over 135 miles of shoreline. Deltaville, Urbanna, Hartfield, Saluda, and Topping are just a few of the communities artists may explore within the county.

The event culminates in a Friday Night Preview Reception on 4/28 at 6 PM to see the week's work and meet the exhibiting artists. The reception will be held at the Deltaville Community Center located at 17147 General Puller Highway, Deltaville, VA 23043. The fun continues at the Deltaville Community Center on Saturday 4/29, where exhibiting artists will also be painting in the area. Join us between from 9 - 4 for demos and a public exhibit at the center. Local community artists are invited to come paint in the area.
