Ohio Plein Air Show and W. OH Watercolor shows

    I'm so delighted to have a painting chosen to be in the Ohio Plein Air Exhibit at the Columbus Art Museum!  The show '2017 Best of OPAS' will be on exhibit March 3 until June 18, 2017.  Next up - submit art to Western Ohio Watercolor by 'Tomorrow'!!!

    This juried event will celebrate the plein air tradition by exhibiting and promoting an exclusive group of works painted outdoors in the true spirit of plein air painting. Our juror will select the finest plein air works from members of the Ohio Plein Air Society. We will celebrate at an opening on Thursday March 2, 6:00 –8:00 PM.   

   I'll be picking up my a painting from the Springfield Art Museum that has been in the OPAS 2016 show for about 3 months....very cool.   The painting on exhibit is the one on the right below....it wasn't quite finished when I took the photo.  I painted it in Vermont.

paintings - on the rocks - of stream, etc....

'Honey Biz' with border

UPDATE!  This painting won an 'Honorable Mention' award in the Western Ohio Watercolor Society show at the Springfield Museum of Art!  Wonderful!!!


Today is gloriously sunny here but still frosty - can I bear to take my paints outside long enough to do a watercolor?  I'd love to capture the misty sun on the fall trees...

Here you see 'Honey Biz' which sold recently in the Artist Studio Tour.  I think the colors might be popped a bit in this image.  I guess I'll have to do another version of the piece if I'd like to hang one in my home.  It is such a sweet agony to sell a piece that has captured my heart.  

I hope you get outside today to enjoy the fall in all it's glories before the gray skies encroach upon us... : )
