26. Nova Plein Air Artists Blog

Founded in 2016, Nova Plein Air Artists (NPAA) was formed when two artists wished to explore the idea of painting outdoors. Since then, NPAA has evolved into a creative network of local artists committed to painting weekly at organized 'paint-outs.' Plein air locations are chosen for their diversity in landscape and local geography, varying from parks to rustic farms, vineyards, and urban settings within the Northern Virginia and Greater Washington, DC area. NPAA's members, many of whom are also painters of other subjects such as still life, genre, and portraiture, actively participate in plein air competitions and gallery shows throughout the year.

28. Jennifer Sampson Art Blog

Born in California, Jennifer Sampson is a plein air and studio oil painter who has lived all over the world. Her interest in art began at a young age (she enjoyed drawing Ninja Turtles), and then intensified in high school, when she won a scholarship to attend a summer art camp in Kerrville, Texas. After one year of college in a visual arts associates program, she decided her time was better spent pursuing a residency at a Zen center, where she was surrounded by Japanese calligraphic art. A desire to be able to read the characters led her to take Chinese 101 at Syracuse University, and it spiraled from there.
