To Our Friends and Supporters,
Island Fine Art of Crescent Beach closed its doors in May of 2010.
For the past five years, this wonderful gallery has been the host, sponsor and home of the Crescent Beach Paint Out.
The closing of both Island Fine Art and the SJCC's Art Advocate Gallery in downtown St. Augustine make it difficult to host future paint outs in Crescent Beach.
So as of now, the 2010 and future Crescent Beach Paint Outs are cancelled.
I'm sure you all join me in thanking the folks at Island Fine Art for their support of plein air art over the years.
Their generosity and dedication made our paint out a truly unique event, unlike any other I know of.
And thanks to all of the wonderful artists who participated in each of our paint outs.
Your determination, talent and creativity have been truly amazing to witness.
Warmest Regards and Best Wishes,
Hal Stringer, Organizer - Crescent Beach Paint Out

2009 Crescent Beach Paint Out
& Artists Retreat
Held October 24 - 31, 2009
|
|
Create, Learn, Share, and Explore - that's what the 2009 Crescent Beach Paint Out was all about. For 2009, we changed the focus of our event from a pure paint out towards something much more!
In addition to the paint out, we held two great workshops led by Larry Moore and Romel de la Torre. Artists also had a chance to meet and share ideas and thoughts on plein air painting in a number of social activities including:
- Artists Social and Pizza Party,
- Low Country Shrimp Boil on the Beach,
- Gadgets, Gizmos and Goofy Golf Night,
- Sunset "Paint In" at Saltwater Cowboys,
- Island Opening and Awards Ceremony, and
- Downtown Opening and Halloween Party.
Shown below are some of the great paintings from our 2009 event. Click on any image to see more paintings by each artist.
