Monday, October 1st was a beautiful day for student from Kentucky School for the Deaf with teacher Alex Meckes and Pat Williams’ students from Forkland to enjoy a day of Plein Air painting at the historic home of Tim and Lisa Montgomery on Lexington Avenue in Danville. The students had the opportunity to work and observe experienced painters from the area as they explored painting in natural light. The concept of Plein Air, or outdoor, painting has been around for centuries, but is most familiar with the French Impressionist period. The event was sponsored by the Arts Commission of Danville/Boyle County in conjunction with the Plein Air Artists of Central Kentucky.
