Mary’s Landscape Art Info

When I think of artists, I tend to think of conflicted individuals confined to an isolated studio somewhere. This imagery is certainly true for some artists, but it is by no means the only model. Many artists go into nature to find inspiration from the world around them.

These plein air painters are definitely a different breed. In my experience, their work generally displays more color and a sense of uplifting than their indoor counterparts. While you may assume that plein air artwork simply portrays landscapes and run-of-the-mill depictions of nature, many of the pieces are abstract and atypical.
