<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 223266, member: 23"]Just to be clear, I know a lot of people call something like this "plein aire" but it's technically not. <b><i>En plein air</i></b> (French pronunciation: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_French" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_French" rel="nofollow">[ɑ̃ plɛn ɛːʁ]</a>), or <i><b>plein air painting</b></i>, is a phrase borrowed from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language" rel="nofollow">French</a> equivalent meaning "open (in full) air". It is particularly used to describe the act of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painting" rel="nofollow">painting</a> outdoors. There are a lot of plein aire painters here where I live because it's so beautiful. Since you have no way of knowing if the artist was actually outdoors when he/she painted this, you should rightly call it a desert landscape.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
