Landscape
Thank you to California Plein Air Painters and Masters of Plein Air Academy® for sponsoring this category.
ARC is proud to present the finalists and winners of the Landscape Category in the 12th International ARC Salon. This represents 108 entries out of the 284 works entered into this category. All landscape subjects are valid for this category, from cityscapes to seascapes, the real to the imaginary. Landscapes capture the world and nature in all its magnificence, from the calmness of a warm summer day to a tumultuous storm. They are used as an opportunity to bring awareness to our environment and our obligation to protect it for future generations as well as personal forms of worship to the divine or the transcendence of nature.
