I was so pleased to have this plein air painting receive a finalist award in
the Gateway International Painting Contest
judged by Kathie Odom last December.
Thank you and congratulations to all the eleven other finalists.

I feel really grateful and encouraged when I get a
pat on the back like this.
We all know it's very subjective and a game of chance.
A word about my plein air painting and what I'm trying to do.
My focus in on creating in interesting surface texture, a pleasing design, and a range of values.
I'm also trying to trust my intuition and not second guess myself,
because there just isn't time.
Thank you all for your support and following along!
