The Webster Community Arts Foundation held its 5th annual Paint Webster Plein Air event on Saturday.
The yearly event celebrates the "wonder and immediacy" of the art of painting and encourages artists of all ages to paint a Webster Grove's scene in plein air, which is French for open air. Plein air artists paint onsite to capture a scene or landscape.
Artists had seven hours to complete their paintings. The foundation awarded more than $1,200 to winners in a variety of different categories at a reception Saturday at the Monday Club.
The artists' paintings are on display at The Old Orchard Gallery at 37 S. Old Orchard Ave. through May 17. For more information on the event, visit the foundation's website.
