One View, Three Visions Reception

Not knowing a soul in Wausau, it was with some anxiety that we set off for the opening reception for our most recent exhibit of One View, Three Visions at the Center for Visual Arts. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise for us! We were barely in the door of the beautiful gallery taking off our jackets and the people started coming in. All evening long we were pleased to enjoy the company of dozens of viewers. And they enjoyed the paintings! Live music, food and beverages added to the festivities.

The excitement about the paintings was evident in talking with the viewers at the reception. One of the most interesting aspects of the paintings was the fact the they are in groups of three, one by each of the PALS painters, and that we each paint the same scene at the same time. Outside. In all weather. Sometimes it is obvious that the scene was the same one in each painting, but other times the unique view of the artist comes through.

The exhibit is open for viewing through April 24, 2011. Enjoy fresh new paintings to bring new life to the new spring season.

PALS Exhibit in Wausau, WI

Plein Air Lake Superior (PALS) presents their newest exhibit of paintings:

“One View, Three Visions” includes work that focuses on working outdoors interpreting the landscape. Outdoor work produces paintings that highlight the immediate response and approach of each artist to the mood of the scene, revealing three unique perspectives.

Outdoor work is done year round throughout Minnesota, in all weather conditions! Pastel is workable in heat, cold, snow, and in rain when sheltered from direct precipitation. Studies are sometimes used to create larger studio pieces.
