Interested collector views paintings by Helen tilston
Two years of filming, painting and planning went into this event.   We filmed in Provence, France, the birthplace of impressionism and also at Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.  Two of the most fun filled years of our lives.  

A triptych, one panel by each artist as shown here with Mary Rose Holmes

The three member Plein Aire Cottage Artists are the feature of the documentary and like all great documentaries it is the guests and speakers who contributed who made the documentary such a success.  It was accepted at Gasparilla Film Festival in Tampa and won the "People's Choice" Award in 2019.   Currently it is being entered in film festivals such as Toronto, Cork and others before going as promised to PBS where it will receive widespread viewing.   Emmy Award documentary film maker Lynn Marvin Dingfelder and Emmy award cinematographer Larry Wiezycki are a joy to know and work with.
