Silver City 3rd Annual Plein Air Event is in the Books...

I greatly enjoyed the Paint Out in Silver City this year. Check out the link for a report by Jan Sohl. I missed the first two events, but certainly will start planning to attend the next one. The weather was good- attendance was high and sales were brisk. The artist reception, chuck wagon dinner and ice cream social made us all feel at home. The artist trading card raffle and quick draw event worked out pretty good, too.

I appreciated the Artists Choice vote for my painting, "Community Church", and will spend the prize money on a new easel.

5x7 oil painting, "Community Church". Sold. A historic structure in town still in use.

12x9 oil painting, "Lake Pactola Landing". Sold. I painted with a few others at the boat landing on Pactola Lake early one morning.

12x9 oil painting, "Nugget Gulch Middle Falls". Available. I hitched a ride with Jan for the off-road drive (my Honda sedan wouldn't make it). Such a peaceful place.

12x9 oil painting, "Pactola Bush". Available. I could probably paint all day on one thing or another down by the lake. Easy access and comfort station nearby.
