Christine Lashley is a contemporary impressionist painter whose works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, winning many First Place awards for both landscape and figurative work. One such award she received is the 2018 Best Light in the Landscape Award at Olmsted Plein Air Invitational based here in Atlanta. The co-founder of Olmsted Plein Air - Lillian Ansley - recently introduced me to Christine and invited me to attend one of her demonstrations. That experience led to Christine graciously taking the time to talk with me in this episode. Christine’s love of all things in nature is poetically expressed in her paintings. Plein air painting is an important part of her work. Collecting memories outdoors among nature including light, atmosphere, and geology, influence her work in the studio. The ideas she captures outdoors inspires the creating of stunning paintings that capture the beauty of a moment held in memory.
