Bothell’s Kaewyn Gallery, at 10101 Main Street, is hosting an exhibit of works by members of the Eastside Association of Fine Arts (EAFA) from Sept. 13 through Oct. 18.

The show features “plein aire” works, paintings done spontaneously outdoors rather than in a studio. This form of art was made popular by French Impressionists during the late 19th Century when the invention of portable tubes for paint made it possible to more easily render images outside the studio.

These works are often characterized by loose brushwork, expressive compositions, and vivid color palettes.

The exhibit, to be juried by artist Marilyn Webberley, will include 50 images submitted by artists in the 320-member organization.

In addition to paintings, selected works of compatible outdoor photography will be shown.

The public is invited to an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 16, from 5 to 8 p.m.
