I wanted to give a shout-out to all the folks that made the Paint the Town Plein Air Festival event a success! There were many volunteers who helped during the weeklong event, Host families who put up artists (and perhaps “put up with”) in their homes, and especially Erin and Lindsey who I know were probably exhausted after this competition and sale.
I had a great time with perfect weather, traveling around the designated paint area working on a total of 10 pieces. These included a Nocturne painting that was in a separate competition category, as well as a Saturday morning “Quick Draw” competition, which I was blessed to win 3rd Place. I heard there were about 70 plus artists who entered the Quick Draw competition, which was separate from the main Plein Air competition.
The event pieces I created can be seen in the slide show below. If you would like to purchase any of the works, just shoot me an email and I’ll relay the price and details back to you.
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. – Psalm 102:25
Many times, when I’m out painting in the quiet – unless its beside a highway ☹ – I find myself thanking and praising the God who created the awesome creation I am attempting to capture. The light and color of creation always leaves me falling short of what lies before me. But, I’ll keep trying to grab a glimmer of the beauty He has given us to enjoy.
Hope you have a great Spring! Give me a shout if interested in any of these works.
