Paint Out at Rock Mill.  On Friday evening, May 19, Monarch Gallery hosted Mr. Dave Fey, Director of the Fairfield County Historical Parks Commission, who presented a lecture and slide show on various historical parks owned by the Commission.  On Saturday, May 20, a group of 16 intrepid  artists set out to create art in the open air on site at Rock Mill, park. An excellent day out of doors - the weather was cool, but beautiful and sunny.

The Paint Out, co-sponsored by Monarch Gallery and the Fairfield County Historical Parks Commission, was open to artists from throughout central Ohio .  An event in which artists work out of doors is known as plein-air painting.  The artists gathered on Saturday used oil, watercolor, and/or acrylic paints, as well as drawing and photography to record their images based on direct observation.  Each artist provided seating and art materials to suit their own needs.  Beginning at 10:00 AM , they stayed until late afternoon watching and recording the changing light situations.  By 6 PM several of the participants gathered once again at Monarch Gallery, for an informal critique of their creations.

As part of a yearlong celebration honoring the 25^th anniversary of the Fairfield County Historical Parks Commission, the resulting art works will be included in a special art exhibit to be held at the Garrett Gallery this fall. On June 2 Monarch Gallery hosted the opening of their newest art exhibit, The June Blues.
