“Snow and Stream” by Diana Rogers
Plein Air at Waters Edge Resort
The Plein Air Competition and Sale at Waters Edge On Oct 5 was a great success. 23 artists gathered to paint on the beautiful grounds of the Waters Edge Resort and Spa. The weather was spectacular. Guests at the resort strolled the grounds to watch and engage with the artists while they painted. Each artist had a unique take on the landscape and produced some really beautiful work.
