Try a refreshing “EVERY DAY TASTE of PLEIN AIR” at the LaSells Stewart Center on the OSU Campus!

Gibbons will show 12 paintings with a subject matter ranging from the port docks of Toledo to the Tumacacori Mountains of southern Arizona all done outdoors on location.
“People ask me to show my work in Oregon rather than go far afield like Florida as I had recently participated in a juried show in St Augustine. I am delighted to be a part of this plein air show just 50 miles from where I live and very accessible to all art lovers”, said Michael Gibbons. The gallery at the La Sells Stewart Center, 875 SW 26th St., OSU campus in Corvallis is open Mon.-Fri. 8:am-5:pm. Call (541) 737 2402 for more information.
