ART WITHOUT PASSPORTS SERIES:  Thursday, August 16, 6:30pm "En Plein Air,"  Greg Lewis The French term En Plein Air, or "in the open air" refers to drawings and paintings that are completed on location outdoors. This presentation will explore the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand express. The act of painting outdoors has allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein-air artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, and Winston Churchill, just to name a few. IN THE GALLERY The OSA Gallery is free and open to the public:  Monday - Saturday, 1 - 4 pm plus special reception hours as announced in exhibit listings   First Annual Plein Air Portland Show juror:  Sarkis Antikajian continues through August 30 OSA's first annual exhibit focused on plein air painting,  featuring recent works created outdoors in Oregon and Washington.
