Ray has been working on this exhibition for the LPAPA Gallery for a full year and we’re very excited for the opportunity to share it with you. Creating a major studio painting takes more than just the desire to paint. Hours of research to find an inspiring location, time in the field to paint plein air studies, weeks, sometimes months, of design work while the idea percolates, and days (or sometimes even a year) of painting all go into creating the final painting that will be framed and exhibited. Please mark your calendars now to visit the LPAPA Gallery to see this extraordinary exhibition, November 2nd through December 4th.

The Laguna Plein Air Painters Association’s LPAPA Gallery is located at 414 North Coast Highway on Gallery Row, between Jasmine and Myrtle Streets, in Laguna Beach. Gallery hours are 11am to 5pm Thursday through Monday and by appointment. The gallery is open extended hours, 6pm to 9pm, for Laguna’s First Thursday Art Walk the first Thursday of each month.
