Two Dozen Local Artists Enjoy Painting “en Plein Air”

Rain before and rain after, but it was a perfect spring day for Otsego Land Trust’s annual plein air painting event in mid-May. The activity was hosted by Hyde Hall in Glimmerglass State Park and the elevated venue provided a glorious perspective on the conservation lands that surround Otsego Lake. Each artist chose an outdoor location to capture the large and small details of the site in a variety of media. The resulting paintings will be displayed and offered for sale in an upcoming exhibition at the Cooperstown Art Association, August 22 to September 23, 2025. Come view the exhibition and consider taking home a memento of the region’s beautiful landscape.
