PLEIN AIR PAINTING

All images copyright © Betty Jean Billups. All rights reserved.


All of the plein air paintings in this section were created over the past 18 years during the annual Plein Air Painters of America Show, which was created by Denise Burns. Many artists in the U.S., who paint "en plein air," really owe a debt of gratitude to Denise for her great vision, and starting the ball to roll, to help "rediscover" plein air painting!
This was also accomplished by 10 years of advertising in 3 to 4 major art publications, which Billups was the sole advertising chairman, setting up all ads in all publications for those initial 10 years.

In 1985, Denise approached me while at a show in Scottsdale Arizona, asking me to join a group she was putting together. At the time, there was maybe 12 or so of us, but over the years other artists were invited to join PAPA, many including such great artists as Ken Auster, Christopher Blossom, Bye Bitney, Scott Burdick, Gil Dellinger, Gay Faulkenberry, Joseph Paquet, Ray Roberts, Matt Smith, Skip Whitcomb, to name a few.


The rest is history.
