2026 Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting
Invitational Artist
Michael Obermeyer
Laguna Beach, California
“Although I have been an artist my entire life, I began plein air painting thirty years ago, surrounded by a group of friends and fellow painters here in Laguna Beach who were just establishing the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. I have since been fortunate to have participated in every Laguna Plein Air Invitational since it’s inception in 1999. The beautiful and varied scenery of Laguna Beach and the surrounding hills, valleys and coastline have given me endless inspiration throughout the years. But it has been my fellow Invitational painters’ enthusiasm and creative spirit that that has inspired me the most.“
