One of the artists attending the Sunday June 4th event is Joan Barnum. ‘I believe strongly that outdoor painting is essential for capturing the true essence of the natural world. When the New England weather doesn’t cooperate, I paint in my studio using plein air studies for inspiration.’

Born in N.H., Joan has lived most of her life here. In her current work she is exploring the ways that color saturation, color and/or value contrast, rendering, edges, and brushwork can move the eye through a painting.

Joan is one of many artists positioned around town for the public to see. The best viewing times are any time between 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Use the Meredith Do The Loop Map to observe and enjoy these talented artists at work.
