~ Jeff Sewell ~
“During the 2022 Laguna Invitational, I decided to visit LPAPA’s “kids paint out” event at Heisler Park. After watching the students paint their masterpieces, I was drawn to the beautiful cliffs and rocks resting in the midday sun below. Immediately, I had to set up my easel and tap into this inspirational moment. Painting from above, the poetry of the rocks and the beauty of the ocean led me to create “The Tide Abides”. The
synchronicity in the moment took over. Receiving the Best In Show Award at this event has been my biggest achievement to date in my Plein Air Painting journey.” Jeff Sewell is a distinguished Signature Member of LPAPA and has served on the LPAPA Board as the “Director of Education”, helping to pass on the history and importance of California Impressionism to hundreds of students each year with a program he instilled called “The Plein Air Project”. Jeff is also an esteemed Artist Member of the California Art Club and most recently became a recognized Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists.
