Today is the last day for the painting display in the big tent at Santini Plaza. The art is beautiful and all the artists had a great time participating in the event. Many ideas for making next year's even better are going through our heads.
George and I are exhausted from being at the tent for about 5 days running. I painted on Tuesday and Wednesday last week and had those two paintings to display. I was lucky to have that time to paint. Both were pastels done on prepared board and framed with glass and spacers to look similar to the oils. Nice comments but no prize. I had fun though and that is why I paint.
My raffle donation was very popular and won by Jo List, a local woman who sang at the gala. I think she was very happy and left many others disappointed that they did not win it.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
"A perfect morning"
"Docked"
Wednesday was a beautiful day for painting out doors. The newly restored beach shone in the early morning sun and we artists settled in to capture it's beauty with our paints. This is not an easy task with the wind blowing, ants crawling and mosquitoes biting. A few sprays of OFF helped and we perservered until lunch. The art created this morning was awsome with all of us turning in a beautiful work for critique. Many of us are practicing for the Paint the Beach competition next week and we could all see the race is on!! Our show next Friday shoud be beautiful based on the samples I saw today.
Meg wanted a painting from our Experimental Group so I donated this painting titled "Rounding the Mark" to the raffle. Paint the Beach Raffle benefits the art association and tickets are $2. each or 6 for $10. We have six nice paintings .
