Plein Air Continues into the Fall!
A small group TNSC Plein air painters from Salmon Arm & Kamloops gathered at Adam's River, where resilience of nature was on full display. Despite recent recent fires in the area, much of the landscape was coming back to life, with some parts miraculously untouched. Surrounded by vibrant colours of autumn, the artists found themselves in a scene rich with flowing water, and brilliant fall foliage.

SUMMER PLEIN AIR DAZE - What Fun!
The TNSC held three Summer Plein Air paint-outs this summer. What a great event it was! Our enthusiastic artists met at Riverside Park Rose Gardens, the Columbia Street Look-out and Stake Lake. We were fortunate to have fabulous weather for each day and we were also fortunate to have a great turn-out of artists who shared their knowledge of plein air and support for each other. To top it off, some really great artwork was produced. Join in on the fun next summer! Here are some highlights of the art created from our paint-out at Stake Lake!
