The effect of "like-minds"are powerful and when people with the same vision and drive come together to form a group the results are always explosive!
The Plein Air Brotherhood is such a group. We came together to form this group because we believe so strongly in Plein Air work and the sheer joy that painting outdoor brings!
Roy Connelly got the group going and growing, he says, he sees us pursuing a common goal of high quality figurative painting from direct observation.
Earlier this year we all decided to have our first exhibition and I was really glad when
A & K Wilson Gallery in Harpenden decided to host our paintings! I traveled to Harpenden, Henley and Chiswick to get some of the paintings in this exhibition done and also from my local studio area at Chelsea. The rest of the group have paintings from all over the UK, painted entirely outdoors under all weather conditions. To see the complete works in the exhibition click

THE PAINTERS
ADEBANJI ALADE
Adebanji paints as he sketches with vitality, energy, deep concentration and flair! The results of his pieces are always alive and vibrant, the on-looker is served with reality seen in a shorthand of fluid painterly brushstrokes with blazing colour!

Congratulations for the show Adebanji. I like your post and the way you describe each painter so well. I love your bridge painting on this post, I think to my opinion this might be your best painting ever! Nice pics of the evening, I just wish you would settle a bit put the backpack down! Were you on your way to do a quick night session plein air or what?;)
Thanks Valerie, I was very relaxed while doing that Bridge painting, nothing on my mind, just calm and under a nice shady area. I was happy with the result.
About the backpack- I only realised I had it on when I saw the pictures, typical me being restless!
This is a very nice post...and your own painting (of the bridge) is wonderful!
Thanks Balaji!
Everyone is so talented. Thanks for sharing.
