NEWS PLEIN AIR REPORT: The TSAA Plein Air Artists met at Hatchers Green-house in South Point last Thursday Oct 25 for a morning of painting and lunch afterward at Casa Grande. We had 6 artists come to paint with gouache, oil and watercolor. It was a beautiful sunny, but chilly day! Diane Springer showed us pictures and told us about her trip to Abington, VA as a participant in a national plein air event. She even sold one of the paintings she completed as part of the event.
