Twenty-one artistic pieces, depicting various beach, lake, light house, bridge and river scenes, will be featured on the exterior wall of the Walter E. Terhune Art Gallery. Each artist utilized the plein air technique in their paintings.
The Monday Morning Painters has over 30 active members and many have earned regional and national acclaim for their paintings. Area artists exhibiting their work at the College will include Tom Durnford of Sylvania, Jim Brower of Toledo, Larry Golba of Toledo, Ed Marks of Toledo, Paul Brand of Toledo, Richard Maxfield of Toledo and Owens faculty member Philip Koenigseker of Temperance, Mich., among others.
