We’re proud to announce that one of Ken Auster’s plein air paintings of San Francisco will be featured on the cover of the February/March issue of PleinAir magazine, the first issue in the expanded bimonthly frequency of the magazine. Auster will be the subject of a feature story in the issue that highlights his career, his painting techniques, and his participation in the 1st Annual PleinAir Convention & Expo taking place from April 12-15, 2012 in Las Vegas.

The plein air watercolor paintings Eileen Monaghan Whitaker created in California, Mexico, Guatemala, and Spain earned her an international reputation, but her work in establishing a foundation dedicated to the conservation and promotion of her artwork may go further in preserving her memory and the record of her accomplishments.
