He began painting in 1997 and is primarily self-taught, but has received instruction in painting at the Corcoran School of Art and The Art League. His studio is located in his home, Doubleview, which is an eighteenth century log home near Syria, Virginia on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains.<br /> His paintings have been exhibited in several prestigious juried national exhibitions including the Oil Painters of America, Arts For The Parks, the Salmagundi Club, Paint America, and the Salon International. In August 2003 “Taggart Lake” was awarded Best In Show out of seven hundred paintings at the Annual American Landscape Show at The Art League in Alexandria, Virginia. Howard Paine, former art director of National Geographic Magazine, served as juror for this show and stated that Altaffer showed “outstanding competence in painting water, and rendering it in an infinite number of colors”.<br /> Lawrence Altaffer is an elected member of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters. This is one of the oldest plein air painting groups in the United States and membership is limited to a maximum of forty painters from Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. He is also an elected member of the Salmagundi Club in New York which is one of the most venerable and prestigious art organizations in America, whose roster has proudly included renowned artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Moran, William Merritt Chase, and N.C.Wyeth.

Her paintings in pastel and oil are interpretive and expressive. Her passion for the outdoors has taken her to the summit of all 53 ranked 14,000’ peaks in Colorado. She has explored the landscape “up close and personal” through multiple marathons, hikes, and backpack trips. Churchley finds inspiration painting en plein air in western Colorado where she lives, to the far corners of the world where she frequently travels, pursuing her other passion of birdwatching. <br /><br />Visit our Website at<br /><a href="http://i-p-a-p.com">www.i-p-a-p.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4315290020195889558-8795168960990693766?l=i-p-a-p.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/2009/10/plein-air-painter-international-plein.html">'; output += '<h1>Plein Air Painter- International Plein Air Painters- October Feature Artist</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fXWp-3wl-0o/SsT3MVn2bwI/AAAAAAAABRE/jHImCNgZe3k/s1600-h/Smith,+Susan+Knight+-+Windell-on-the-Porch-a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 379px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fXWp-3wl-0o/SsT3MVn2bwI/AAAAAAAABRE/jHImCNgZe3k/s400/Smith,+Susan+Knight+-+Windell-on-the-Porch-a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387702845576736514" /></a><br /><strong>Susan Knight Smith</strong><br /><br />Susan fine art landscapes, portraits, still life<br /><br />Susan Knight Smith works primarily in pastel, a medium that allows her to combine her love of expressive drawing with vibrant color. In addition to landscapes, she paints portraits, figure studies, still life, intimate garden scenes, and particularly enjoys plein air painting, or painting out of doors. Susan’s paintings reflect her love of nature, her fascination with the juxtaposition of colors and the play of light, and an enchantment with particular or unique people, places, or things. Of her work, she simply says, "I paint what delights me." She finds much to delight her in the metro Atlanta area where she lives, or near the E. Tennessee home where she grew up. She has also found inspiration for many of her paintings on trips to France, Italy, Mexico, the Arizona desert, and the coast of Maine. <br /><br />See more of Susan\'s Work <a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/plein_air-feature.html">HERE</a>Join IPAP <strong><a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/membership.html">HERE</a></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4315290020195889558-5438037107401699868?l=i-p-a-p.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bHQ9MTI1NDMyMzM3NTY*MCZwdD*xMjU*MzIzNDQ3NTc4JnA9Mzg2MzYxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmb2Y9MA==.gif" /><div style="width:480px;text-align:right;"><embed width="480" height="360" src="http://static.pbsrc.com/flash/rss_slideshow.swf?rssFeed=http%3A%2F%2Ffeed940.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad250%2Fipap2010%2Ffeed.rss" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" > </embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/redirect/album?showShareLB=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.pbsrc.com/share/icons/embed/btn_geturs.gif" style="border:none;" /></a><a href="http://photobucket.com/ipap" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.pbsrc.com/share/icons/embed/btn_viewall.gif" style="border:none;" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4315290020195889558-1629032095071775310?l=i-p-a-p.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/2009/09/plein-air-painter-artists-magazine.html">'; output += '<h1>Plein Air Painter - The Artists magazine</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Plein Air Painter - The Artists magazine<br /><br /><strong>IPAP member <strong>Michael Chesley Johnson </strong>has a demo in the Artists Oct. issue magazine</strong><br /><br />See demo <a href="http://www.artistsnetwork.com/article/painting-daylight-landscapes">HERE </a><br /><br />International Plein Air Painters <a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/membership.html">MEMBERSHIP HERE</a><br />Home of the <a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/paintout.html">GREAT WORLDWIDE Paint Out</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4315290020195889558-4472734760113982132?l=i-p-a-p.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/2009/09/plein-air-painter-ipap-feature-artist.html">'; output += '<h1>Plein Air Painter - IPAP Feature Artist Phil Chadwick</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Plein Air Painter - IPAP Feature Artist see page <a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/plein_air-feature.html"><strong>HERE</strong></a><br /> Artist Statement<br /><br />I live and paint out of passion for the natural world. I am inspired by nature, family and fellow artists to see beyond the surface and to share the experience – a vision in pigment and texture. My immediate goal is to extract the maximum amount of inspiration from the moment and have fun doing it while surrounded by and immersed in the natural elements. Somehow the soul of the scene finds its way on to the canvas.<br /><br />My simple desire is to make the next painting my new favourite and to improve in capturing the essence of the subject with lots of colour and bold strokes!<BR><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fXWp-3wl-0o/Sp0xX9OGwMI/AAAAAAAABPs/g6Sob2msHLU/s1600-h/Chadwick-Windy+Cumulus.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fXWp-3wl-0o/Sp0xX9OGwMI/AAAAAAAABPs/g6Sob2msHLU/s400/Chadwick-Windy+Cumulus.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376507817790718146" /></a><br /><br />Become a Member of International Plein Air Painters <a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/membership.html">HERE</a><br />Home of the <a href="http://ipap.homestead.com/paintout.html">GREAT WORLDWIDE Paint Out</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4315290020195889558-2555780242918923285?l=i-p-a-p.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/2009/08/plein-air-painter-worldwide-paint-out_30.html">'; output += '<h1>Plein Air Painter - Worldwide Paint Out North Carolina promo</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Plein Air Painter - Worldwide Paint Out North Carolina promo<br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X78lC4dTNoQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpleinairartists%2Ening%2Ecom%2Fvideo%2Fipaps%2Dworldwide%2Dplein%2Dair&feature=player_embedded#t=30"><strong>HERE</strong></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4315290020195889558-630499518639654866?l=i-p-a-p.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://i-p-a-p.blogspot.com/2009/08/plein-air-painter-worldwide-paint-out_25.html">'; output += '<h1>Plein Air Painter - WORLDWIDE Paint Out Sept 11-13, 2009</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p><strong>Plein Air Painter - WORLDWIDE Paint Out</strong><br /><strong>IPAP Members Registered</strong><br />Sharon Allen New Hampshire<br />J.R.
