Worldwide Paint Out
Tuesday, September 17, 2013

A special day!

                                                           
Once more we were blessed with a bright sunny morning. It is late winter, Carioca style!
At first , the choice of Leme Beach as a location for this year´s Paint Out seemed at least a crazy idea!
Sunny Sunday morning at any beach in Rio is really crowded.
But it was wonderful! Artists and bathers mixed beautifully: easels, canvases, colorful beach parasols, a real feast for the eyes!
Professional artists,students, amateurs,  from  Rio de Janeiro and neighbor cities  joined us this year to celebrate plein air painting. Some of them traveled  from  even more distant places like Brasilia (more than 1000 km far fom Rio) and Belo Horizonte ( more than 350 km).

Worldwide Paint Out 2013

This year Praia do Leme was the site of choice for  Rio de Janeiro Worldwide Paint Out 2013.
Since 2004 Rio de Janeiro have been joining  this worldwide event attracting each time a greater number of artists who come from other estates and neighbour cities.
Artists from Brasília, Belo Horizonte and são Paulo are expected this year to join us.

I´m very happy to see this event spreading in Brazil, like in other countries, contributing to the visibility and appreciation of Plein Air Painting!
