Two weeks ago, I was in Westcliffe, Colorado at the Sangres Art Guild 6th Annual Plein air Paint Out.
A chilly, but beautiful few days; fortunately the snow forecast for Saturday never materialized. Sue McCullough and I joined about 23 other plein air painters trying to capture the last of the Fall color in Colorado. As you can see by the photo above there was still a lot to be had. Below, Sue creates the painting that won her a merchandise award at the opening.
Below: "Passing Autumn"- 10 x 8, and "Indian Summer"- 9 x 12 are the 2 pieces that I entered into the show that opened on Saturday afternoon at the 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe. Click on any of the photos to view them larger.
The Sangres Art Guild
put on the event and though weekend weather was variable for sure, they
did a great job of keeping the artists supplied with coffee and
encouragement - not too much pressure, and finished with a beautifully
hung show and great food for the opening.
My piece, "Indian Summer" was awarded 3rd Place- which came with a few dollars- yippee!
Stephen Datz, award winning painter from Grand Junction, CO was the judge, and a
painter I greatly admire. It was an honor to receive an award from him.
The Plein Air Show will hang at the 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe until November 4th.
