The sun moves, shadows change; there is only a short period of time that an artist has to capture the shifts of light and color when painting outdoors - but it is this very desire to distill the energy and freshness of nature that drives the plein air painter. Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters was formed to bring together artists who share this passion.

We drove down starting at 8:30 a.m. had lunch, got a nice room for two nights, bought some tickets and still had time to paint for a couple of hours on Market Square. The light was fantastic and made the trees glow with color. Met one other pastel painter working down the street. Lots of friendly people, just like painting at home.
