Plein
air paintings done on location in and around southwest Washington.
En plein air is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
French Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir advocated en plein air painting, and much of their work was done outdoors.
Marie paints outdoors on nice weather weekends in the spring, summer and fall.
