  1. Hello,

    I have been online searching the internet for other plein air artists and I have seen your work on your website. On May 1st, I began a new website that I hope you will go to and join: pleinairartists.ning.com.

    Already some really fine artists have joined and I am very gratified by their interest. I just one month since it began we already have over 300 artists. There is no fee, no jury and world-wide. It is open to everyone who paints outdoors on location. So beginners can learn and be inspired by the masters. There is also a good market here to advertise your workshops. You can even keep your individual group here as well.

    I have been painting on location for over 40 years, but I am new at making a website. I want to make this the online meeting place. A real down to earth kind of site to publicize events, exchange ideas, express yourself, and of course, make new friends. I already feel that I have made several new friends as I have welcomed new members and are able to chat back and forth with them. So it’s already working the way that I thought it would.

    I hope to see you when you log in and hope you will pass along this web address to your painting friends and group members.

    Thanks,
    Don Maier
