Enjoy some time at Kinstone while seeing the amazing Plein Air Art (artworks made outdoors) created this summer by a host of various artists right here at Kinstone. \nArtists of every painting medium and every skill level were invited to create plein air works at our Autumn Plein Air Paint Day & Art Sale on three special days this summer. (See below for details about what “plein air” is.) Today we get a chance to see an exhibition of the works of the participating artists and even purchase a new piece! The art will be exhibited in the Kinstone Education Center\, on the Porch\, and in outdoor areas. Keep in mind that entry to the indoor spaces will be limited to a few people at a time due to coronavirus safety measures being taken. All person entering the indoor art exhibit must wear a mask. A portion of the sales will be retained by Kinstone to help support additional art events here.

Dress for the weather! \n\nSo\, What is Plein Air Painting? \nEn Plein Air is a French expression meaning “in the open air” and it describes the practice of artists painting outdoors with the subject directly in view rather than in a studio. Plein air artists work to capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light\, color and movement into their art. \nAccording to Wikipedia\, in the mid-19th century\, working in natural light became particularly important to various artists and schools of art (e.g. the Barbizon school\, Hudson River School\, and Impressionists). Wikipedia goes on to say French impressionist painters such as Monet\, Pissarro\, Cezanne\, Van Gogh and Renoir advocated plein air painting and much of their work was done outdoors. \nThere has been a recent revival of interest in plein air painting in the United States. Groups of plein air artists have begun gathering together to paint at single locations or within certain geographic boundaries giving them a chance to share their talents and creativity with the public and with one another. \nFind out more about plein air painting and related events by visiting any of the following websites: \nWisconsin Plein Air Painters Association (WIPAPA) \nOutdoor Painters of Minnesota (OPM) \nPlein Air Painters of America (PAPA)

Join us! \nKinstone is a contemplative\, park-like place with spectacular views\, intriguing stonework\, and natural buildings.

We are excited about all the possibilities and creative wonder that will manifest from this connection. \n\nSo\, What is Plein Air Painting? \nEn Plein Air is a French expression meaning “in the open air” and it describes the practice of artists painting outdoors with the subject directly in view rather than in a studio.
