Plein Air BC

Annette contacted me to put this standing offer in to all who would like to get together to paint plein air. Just give her a call to find out when her next outing will be.

Even with the rain, the 3rd annual Grand Prix of Plein Air Challenge hosted by Alfonso Tejada at the 2010 Harmony Festival was a success. Twenty three (23) artists came out to paint and to get to know each other.

Four awards were given out at the end of the three hour painting competition. First Place: Louise Nicholson; Second Place: Violet Taylor; Third Place: Kathryn Wright; Honourable Mention: John Hofman.

Congratulations to everyone that came out that day and endured the rain.

At the Annual Sidney BC Plein Air Paint In held on Saturday July 31st, 2010, juried by Robert Genn, Ron Wilson was awarded first prize for his work 'The Boondocks'. If you have time, head on over to Ron's Blog.

Second prize went to Ken Faulks and Deborah Tilby was awarded third prize.

Congratulations to the three winners and kudos to everyone else for getting out there and painting!!!
