Why This Exhibition Matters • The "Then": We honor the legacy of the plein air artists who have shaped the standard of excellence in California Impressionism. • The "Now": We showcase current masterworks that reflect the artists' ongoing growth, deeper explorations of color, and the refined wisdom that only years in the field can provide. • The “Legacy”: By bringing these titans together, the LPAPA Gallery o ff ers a comprehensive look at the current landscape of plein air painting and its future. LPAPA’s President Toni Kellenberg explains, ”Plein air painting is a conversation between the artist and the earth. In this catalog, you are witnessing the most profound chapters of that conversation." We invite you to explore these pages and discover the stories, the struggles, and the triumphs of those who have reached the top—and kept climbing. These are the artists who don't just paint the landscape; they define it.
