This July offers a chance to get in on the ground floor of a new plein air competition in Ocean Park, Maine.
The woods figure prominently in Ocean Park, with 100-foot hemlocks bordering the community on its west side
Artists will paint from daybreak on July 9 through 11 a.m. on July 11 in the small community, which consists of a half-mile-wide and half-mile-long sliver of land along the Atlantic Ocean near Kennebunkport, Maine. A wet paint sale will be held on the night of July 9.
