Great American Paint Out

KANSAS CITY • COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA • OIL PAINTERS OF AMERICA • MISSOURI PLEIN AIR 

J C Nichols Memorial Fountain, 8 x 10, oils

Oil Painters of America promotes group paint outs for it's members every fall. This year my friend Laura Kratz took the lead and organized one for the Kansas City area. The date, October 22, the Country Club Plaza. Over a dozen artists showed up at "the horse fountain" a real KC icon. The weather was great and we had lots of curious onlookers who could see first hand the awesomeness of painting from life. We broke for lunch at the Nelson Art Gallery's Rozelle Court and finished the day with more painting. A great way to promote visual arts in KC and I was able to hand out a few business cards as well.
