Last week I participated in the Creve Coeur Plein Air event and my painting was awarded Honorable Mention! It was like the icing on the cake to a very fun experience. (My painting was also purchased!)
The weather was perfect for being outdoors, I met five other friendly and talented artists, and I was surrounded by birds all day, including an owl!
For me, painting plein air is a wonderful way to focus only on creating and making pretty art. I highly recommend it for uplifting your spirits!
