The Hogtown Plein Air Painters are back! I'm happy to announce a revival bringing together and creating opportunities for plein air artists local to the Gainesville and surrounding area. Plein Air Florida, co founded by Linda Blondheim and David Johnson, is the premiere group of plein air painters in the state. The local group has been dormant for years and in that meantime we've seen a huge increased interest in plein air painting and events. The return of collector interest to representational art and support from cultural and environmental interests has fostered its amazing growth. Plein Air Florida is the #1 source for anything and everything Florida has to offer the plein air painter and patron. Visit the links to their excellent website where you can meet the artists, view their works, find links and learn about upcoming events.
Our local painting activities with dates and locations will also be posted there.
About Me

- Tim Malles Art Studio
- Gainesville, Florida, United States
- Astronomy themes, landscapes and public art are some of the targets of my work. These are the best of times as we stand on the threshold of unprecedented discovery in space. As a space artist, I am grateful for and inspired by the amazing images of faraway places that the great telescopes of our generation have given us. As a plein air painter, I am inspired to quickly capture light, color and movement with the focus on our rapidly changing environment. As an artist within the live public art venue I am inspired by the opportunity for creativity, spontaneity and exchange.
