  1. I am the winner in the Feb. Mar. PleinAir Salon show in the floral competition. Will my piece be published in
    PleinAir Magazine? Where can I purchase the magazine in my area?

  2. How do we see art work submitted in other areas like pencil sketches, portraits, etc? Was there any recognition in other areas than the nine above (which are excellent!)

  3. Is the term “plein air” considered to include paintings done from life but not outdoors? I love the winners here but some look as though they were done in a studio. Not a criticism, just a question.
