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 102-year-old California Art Club (CAC) now has a ninth regional chapter that will make it easier for artists to take advantage of lectures, plein air paint-outs, exhibitions and social events near their studios. The newest chapter was just formed in Palm Springs, and Terry Masters and Elaine Mathews have agreed to be co-chairs of the group.
