Cheryl Keefer is painting Cafe 64!

Not the building, or the kitchen, but she is painting a canvas en plein air at Cafe 64, two Saturdays in October. Keefer’s luscious local plein air landscapes and rainy street scenes of Asheville, have been likened to the Impressionists who painted outdoors in Europe, and even here in the United States during the late 19th century. Taking oils outdoors became possible during that time with the technology that made paint available in tubes.

Cafe 64, located at 64 Haywood Road in downtown Asheville, is a favorite breakfast and lunch spot for locals in the area. The food is fresh, delicious, and always served with the unique flair of owner Gary Taylor. Like many cafés in Paris, Venice, and Asheville, there are a few small tables out front for street-side dining.

Keefer will be painting on Saturday, October 3 and Saturday, October 17, 2015.

Keefer’s impressionistic oil and watercolor paintings have won awards throughout the country. Her work en plein air includes weddings and events, cityscapes and landscapes from the Appalachian Mountains to the lowlands and beyond. Keefer holds degrees in art history and art education from the University of Alabama, with Graduate Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University. She currently lives in Black Mountain.
