Customs House Museum Celebrates Tennessee Artists with New Exhibits
September 10, 2011
Clarksville, TN – Plein air is a term derived from the French phrase en plein air, which literally means ‘in the open air’.

Jason Saunders may be painting far from the French countryside, but his landscapes of Tennessee are just as breath-taking.
