The Quick Draw is my favorite part of any plein air event and probably the only time all of the artists paint together. There is a little bit of nervous energy but once the whistle blows everyone gets right to it. As a consequence of painting in the shade my acrylic under-painting took a very long time to dry so I used the time to take photos of other artists. At the top, rick Frisbie breaks his concentration for a moment to give me a wave; Scott Freeman is painting the model. Deb Robinson, in her signature cowboy hat, is painting a view upstream and you can tell the morning is cool; she still has a sweater on. Teri Gortmaker is working in pastels and you can see her tray of pastels laid out on the french easel. The last photo is of KC Benson, a watercolorist whose work I admire. He has work in the Link Gallery in Cheyenne, who also represents me.
