Albert Handell's August PleinAir Salon Choices

Master Artist Albert Handell has revealed his selections for the winners in the August 2023 PleinAir Salon.

"By all means do so if it's by computer," advises Handell in regards to entering the PleinAir Salon. "You get a sense of where you fit in or where you don't fit in, and there's no money for framing and shipping. It's a good way to start."

Indeed! First place will receive a cash prize, plus all winners will be entered into the judging for the annual cash prizes, including the $15,000 grand prize for the best painting of the year, and they'll see their painting on the cover of PleinAir® Magazine. Could you be the next winner?
