The Jefferson Plein Air was held at the end of June and even though I didn’t paint, I was able to participate by volunteering to help for the event. One of the most memorable parts of the exhibit was the artwork created by the 5th graders from Jefferson East Elementary. Working with their art teacher Julia Hardin, we held a plein air event in May for the students. Over 50 students participated and thanks to the teachers and parents, we had a great day. Their best artwork was on display in the gallery at Woolen Mills in Jefferson during the plein air event.
