| Paint Admiralty Head 2003 International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) Sponsored Event |
Press Release September 2003
Landscape painters will invade Whidbey Island in September to Paint Admiralty Head
Some of the area's most talented outdoor painters will bring their paint boxes and easels to Central
Whidbey Island well known for its breath taking view of Olympic Mountains across the Straight of Juan
de Fuca at the entrance to the Puget Sound.
Historic Admiralty Head Lighthouse is celebrating a centennial milestone in 2003. The elegant Spanish style
brick and stucco structure opened in 1903 replaced the earlier wood-frame lighthouse built in 1861. As one
of Washington's most popular lighthouses its stature also provides inspiration as a favored site for artists to
set up an easel.
This remarkable new event Paint Admiralty Head 2003 is happening with the support of International
Plein Air Painters and several area Plein Aire Artists are expected from Everett, Auburn, Bellevue, Forest
Park, Langley, Coupeville, Mt Vernon, and Seattle to converge on Fort Casey State Park on the 14th of
September 2003 to paint outdoors on the lighthouse grounds.
Plein air artists seek the quality of natural light and atmosphere outdoors. Their art work is in direct
response to the beauty they find in nature. A variety of media is used for these works of art including oils,
watercolors, and pastels.
The public will be able to join in the fun by watching individual artists work and moving from painter to
painter from 3 p.m until sunset.
Event organizers Susie Short and Mike Mallory say there is an overwhelming joy about paintings outdoors
and this is a chance for people to see professional artists at work, developing their pictures in response to
the beauty in nature and the inspiration of this historic landmark..
Plein air painting developed in France in the mid 19th century and is becoming increasingly popular. The
International Plein Air Painters has members who reside throughout the United States, Great Britain,
Canada, France, Israel, Curacao, and Spain. The organization was created for the sole purpose of
advancing the execution and enjoyment of plein air painting without limitations of borders or regions. Its
members share inspiration and encouragement both on the Internet and at "paint outs". They encourage
other artists to get out and do it, to paint with other artists and share ideas.
This event is happening simultaneously in international locations and Paint Admiralty Head 2003 is part
of this premier worldwide group event hosted by International Plein Air Painters. You can learn more about
the group and see some of the many events happening posted on the
website www.IPAP.homestead.com IPAP plans to make this an annual event. Dates for 2004 are set for
September 10, 11 and 12th.

Sunday morning welcomed rain, fog and drizzle. Then the clouds parted and we had a great afternoon painting on the
lighthouse grounds at Fort Casey. We were blessed with frequent "sun-breaks" popping out for some great photo
ops. There were six of us "slinging paint" with two future plein-aire painters stopping by to check things out.
