| "Quick Paint in Wexford" 14x11 oil on panel $800 |
Every big plein air competition has some form of a "quick draw" or "quick paint" these days and Art in the Open was no different. The registered artists set up in the square by the Glen Gallery all standing by our easels waiting for the air horn to start. We had two hours to finish, artists intent to make an impactful representation of their surroundings on canvas. The painting above is what I ended up with.
There were a lot of good paintings and wish I would have taken more photos. My painting did not win an award or sell but many did and there was a large crowd of on-lookers.
The Quick Draw was a good start to Art in the Open! The rest of the week we would be taking the big bus to different locations around Wexford to paint and make friends. Now it's time to go to the pub for a Guinness... Stay tuned for more adventures in Ireland!
