Two Plein Air Florida Artists Share Exhibit

Plein Air Florida members Donald Eaton and Robert J. Simone were recently invited to share a special exhibit of plein air paintings in the offices of St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker.   The three man show consists of paintings depicting downtown St. Pete, it's surrounding parks and beaches.  Don and Robert share the exhibit with local artist Ron Marvin.  The length of the show is open ended and is available to those who have official business with the mayor.   It's great that the powers that be are taking notice of plein air artists.
