– Staff reporting, PleinAir Today –
PleinAir magazine publisher Eric Rhoads took an informal poll at the Fall Color Week event in Maine last fall on where the gathered plein air painters would most like to go. New Zealand won. Now PleinAir magazine is offering artists a chance to join a small group of painters to visit and paint this amazing place.
Lead Image: Another amazing plein air adventure opened up to PleinAir Today readers.
Only 50 painters are allowed to join the tour, which will hit Auckland, Queenstown, Wellington, Hobbiton — the set of the “Lord of the Rings” films — Gibbston Valley, Walter Peak, Sir Richard Taylor’s Weta Workshop, and more.
The details are too delicious to tell it all here. Learn more by visiting the Paint New Zealand website.

Hi Conni! Yes, it looks like that’s the plan for 2022 now! It hasn’t been officially announced yet – it must be hot off the press! 🙂
