The German artist Guido Frick is teaching a three-day plein air workshop in Andalusia this week. Plein air painting, is a phrase borrowed from the French equivalent meaning “open (in full) air.”

Roger and Cathy Powell feted Frick and his students with a reception in their home Tuesday night.  Shown from left are Christa Friedl, an Austrian artist who is participating in the class; Frick; local artist Elizabeth Reid; and hosts  Cathy Powell and Roger Powell.
