Just got home from the SE Plein Air Invitational. Here are some photos:

| Craig Reynolds of Alabama won 2nd place with this beautiful painting! |

My friend Millie Gosch from Georgia won 3rd place with this wonderful loose painting.
All the winners did the SAME house!! Weird, huh??? |

 |
| "Blue Skies Return" was done the day after the devastating storms. |
 |
| "Evening Song".12x9, Oil. Sold. |
One evening I did the above image of "Evening Song" (sorry iPhone image was not too good!) from 5-6 PM after a full day of painting, This was just prior to a lovely reception held in a beautiful private home... It was painted outside on the grounds of this home up on the mountain overlooking the city. A sting orchestra was there in a a wooded cove playing lovely music while we painted! The gracious family who hosted us added Evening Song to their collection of beautiful paintings in their warm and welcoming home!

| Artists Katina Weber and Craig Reynolds with my painting that I had done last year. Such an honor to see my work in these collectors' lovely home. |
Here is a photo showing where we found my painting that I did here last year - in their beautiful breakfast room...
What a week!
Congratulations on your success,Dot. You did some nice paintings. Enjoyed seeing some of the other artist's work. Seems like a nice event.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John! Hope you will come next year! It's a terrific event and well run. The town and area is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteWish I had more images of my own work and also works of others, but you had to turn images in daily and I did not get some of my own paintings!.... And, I was shy about photographing other people's paintings and hated to ask and photograph their works. Just did not feel right. But believe me - there were some amazing paintings done there! Hope the museum posts the images soon...
