Plein Air Painters at Natl Elk Refuge Visitor Center May 13<\/h2>\n

A group of painters will use the backdrop of the National Elk Refuge as artistic inspiration on Tuesday, May 13, giving visitors an opportunity to watch and ask questions as the artists create their works.<\/p>\n

The artists are part of the Teton Plein Air Painters, a group of artists who meet once a week from May \u2013 October in the Teton environs. Starting with two people during the summer of 2012, the group now has a communication list of over seventy. Typically, three to ten people are onsite to paint, referencing the landscape for motifs. Art mediums include oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pen and ink.<\/p>\n

The group will spread out in the area of the visitor center, located at 532 N. Cache Street in Jackson. Weather permitting, likely locations will include the visitor center lawn, the covered upper deck of the facility, and the remote viewing deck across the lawn next to the wetlands area. Current visitor center hours are from 9:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm, but visitors are welcome to stroll through the grounds after hours to enjoy the art session.<\/p>\n

En plein air<\/em> is a French expression which means \u201cin the open air\u201d and is used to describe painting done in an outdoor setting. The artists paint natural light, using color to define form. Depending on the light and weather, plein air paintings are generally done in one session. Artists may add final touches to their work once back in the studio. For additional information on the Teton Plein Air Painters and Tuesday\u2019s session, contact Bobbi Miller, Facilitator, at 307 \/ 543 2910.<\/p>\n
