Art Shows & Events
Submit Art for Peace Day Event
Award winning Plein aire artist, Geoffrey Allen, will demonstrate his striking painting style, design, and composition considerations in a LIVE demonstration from his studio. Join us LIVE from home with an opportunity to ask questions. Even if you are not a watercolorist, you will be inspired by Geoffrey’s simplification of a complicated scene or still life to create stunning compositions.
“As an artist, plein air painting allows my art to showcase two of my greatest passions: my enthusiasm for being outdoors and the beauty of watercolor. I find that watercolor is both medium and metaphor, and at times both a blessing and a curse. I love that aspect of art making- when something is slightly out of my control and a challenge. It allows me to feel that I am playing with mysterious forces beyond my own understanding.” https://www.geoffallenart.com/
