Plein Air or "Train Air"
Where does a group of plein air painters in New York City paint during the winter? On Saturday, February 1, six artists including myself were inspired to paint inside a subway station in Washington Heights. Staking out spots on the mezzanine level of the 181st Street Station (A Train), just inside the 184th Street turnstiles, we spent several hours capturing various vantage points. It turned out to be the perfect spot to paint -- lighting that didn't change, a constant stream of curious commuters and art supporters, and a comfortable temperature. We're looking forward to the next "Train Air" Painting Day!
