It's been a couple months. You probably thought I disappeared.... and I did, into the summer plein air painting world.  I have a lot of catching up to do! 

Artists Choice award winning painting

We kicked it off with the Carmel Arts Festival in May. Always a blast connecting and painting with other artists! The bonus was that my wife Ann and son Maury came along to share the fun.  I completed eight paintings, sold six and won two awards!   Including the Artists Choice award, an acknowledgement from fellow artists that is both humbling and inspiring! Amazed by the talented artists in this event and very grateful for their

 support!

After the  usual (for me) van break downs. We made it home, regrouped and headed to Crested Butte to paint a few days in Colorado for the Oh Be Joyful Gallery. It was a great time reconnecting with Nick Retti and his fun team of talented artist, sales pros.

Check out the Oh Be Joyful Gallery if you get the chance they are hosting a featured artists exhibit by Jim Wodark right now. It was an honor to meet and talk with him while I was in CB.

In between These fun events I was able to paint with the Plein Air Washington Artists on some of their paintouts. We did the Magnuson Park Paintout and Exhibition hosted by the Sand Point Arts and Cultural Exchange (SPACE) I also taught a workshop through the Cole Gallery.

Still coming up- The Whidbey Island Plein Air and the Second Annual "Edmonds and Beyond" Plein Air Paintout  hosted by the Cole Gallery. 

That's it for now..  Stay tuned for more recent work and happy painting
