Great Chattahoochee Paint Out

August Heat
6 x 8 Oil on Linen Panel

Chattahoochee Backwater
8 x 10 Oil on Linen Panel

I painted in Roswell along the Chattahoochee River along with 75 other artists in the first Great Chattahoochee Paint Out from Wednesday, August 12 through Friday, August 14. Each artist then selected 2 pieces to enter in a juried show and reception held at the National Recreation Area headquarters on Saturday night. The event was hosted by the National Park Service, the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau and artist Joan Hilliard. The Bank of North Georgia donated the prize money for the awards and Brown and Company donated a piece of jewelry for the first prize winner. Thanks to the event organizers who did such a fabulous job in it's first year. I look forward to the next one.
These are the two paintings that I entered. After the reception, the painting Chattahoochee Backwater was purchased by a collector from Cartersville.

This is a small 5 x 7 canvas that will be part of the Challenged Child & Friends silent auction held in conjunction with the Art in the Square in Gainesville, GA on October 3rd.
I will be painting in the Great Chattahoochee Paint Out next week from Wednesday through Friday. There will be a reception at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area at Island Ford in Roswell on Saturday, August 15, at 6 p.m. The public is invited and works from the week will be on display. There are over 60 artists competing in the event.

Plein Air Fridays

Barn at Full Bloom Nursery 9 x 12 Oil

A group of fellow painters get together to paint plein air on Fridays quite often. This is a plein air that I did on a trip to a nursery near Clermont, GA. They have a pond full of the most beautiful lotus plants in full bloom. I painted a 6 x 8 of the lotus pond but wiped it off when I wasn't happy with the results. That happens now and then.
I am now represented by The Burton Gallery which is at Burton Dam Road and Highway 197, about 16 miles north of Clarkesville and 14 miles east of Helen. www.burtongalleryandemporium.com

Reception Photos

I heard from someone that they could not open my link to the photos of the opening of my show at Barry Sons Studio/Gallery. I am attaching a couple of photos. I took a couple of days off from painting after the show and will have a new piece finished today. It has been a fun July.
