ABOUT US
A few years ago four professional plein-air painters from the Boothbay region were at an opening. (Corinne McIntyre, Roger Milinowski and Ron and Monique Parry). Ron said, "Since we all usually paint by ourselves why don't we go out every Wednesday and paint together". And so the "Plein Air Painters of Maine" was born. What started out with four of us now has over 200 members. At any given time in the summer there can be 14 to 18 people painting. In the winter there may only be two or three hearty folk. But the interest has never subsided. The comraderie, exchange of ideas and just plain fellowship with other painters is great.
The Boothbay Region, in fact, all of Maine, has a wealth of subject matter to paint. The sea, the coastal rocks, endless skies, seabirds, lobster boats, docks, fish houses...etc. It is so beautiful. A painters paradise.

There were eight of us dedicated stalwart souls last Wednesday at the Great American Oil Painters of America Paint Out. At 8 a.m. the day started out overcast, then became drizzly. Then about 10 ish the heavens opened up. so we decided to continue it next week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Some folks came from pretty far away.......Canada and Massachusetts. We shall send in two photos to OPA to show the two segments of our Great Paint Out.
