Description

Review In the words of Plein Air painter Steven Taylor, "I am a part of an active art community, and this is our story." "Plein Air painting offers the opportunity, not only for opening the way for new friendships, but also for embracing new chances for documentation, for stewardship and for activism."-Paul Rickard "At a time of climate crisis, political division and lack of respect for differences...it is the arts that can remind us of what we have in common."-Kathy O' Leary "Plein Air painting takes me away from angry cable news and social media into nature's beauty spots."-Carol Telesky "Art allows you to ride the waves of optimism to prove to yourself-and the world around you-that it's okay to feel, to love, and to express yourself in spite of all the world's obstacles."-John Jameton "Art gives people a voice. And that voice can change people's lives."-Beth Gin "Art is what often rescues us, personally and socially, when we face an uncertain future."-Alan Sanborn Product Description For the last eight years, there has been a growing movement in Humboldt County, California's art community-dozens of artists who routinely trade in the safety and comfort of their studios to paint outside, en plein air. They meet weekly to challenge themselves-and each other- to capture Humboldt's beauty. This movement has been chronicled in newspapers, magazines and various local catalogues. It's been shouted out on social media, radio and TV. But it's never been chronicled in a book. Come to find out, neither has any other collection of painters in Humboldt. Until now. This book serves as Humboldt County's first anthology of painters. It offers a snapshot in time of the county's plein air community in order to showcase the arc of abilities, the collaborative spirit and the beauty of this movement. Crafted in an avant garde, unique to Humboldt style, the anthology features thirty seven artists-from beginners to world renown professionals-including photographs of each artist in their element, samples of their artwork, bios and brief essays which respond to the question, "Does art matter in this crossroads of our time?" Their answers, like their art, are as unique as Humboldt's thriving art community. About the Author CM Phillips is an artist, writer, and publisher living in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.
