Today was
a plein air "paint out" day in St James's Park organised by the
British Plein Air Painters as a preliminary to their f
irst annual exhibition at the Menier Gallery next week (16-20 October 2018). This was the second paint out - with the first having been held last month.

Some 90 painters attended the event - and when I turned up later afternoon (after other commitments) I found painters scattered all over the park.
The events are FREE and all levels of ability are welcome.Below are some of the painters with their paintings. Most are not in the exhibition at the Menier Gallery - but I'm guessing some will be in future!
