Last week in Doylestown I photographed the Plein Arts Festival. 50 artists from around the country were invited to compete and paint in the open air.
Here are some of the images and video:

The competitively-selected artists will paint outdoors “en plein air” or “in open air” over the course of three days in various locations throughout the county to create various landscapes and streetscapes.
