Art Show in Anacortes, WA and other news And its been super busy the last couple of months for me. I have been preparing for my show at Scott Milo, in Anacortes, which opens August 3rd and runs for the whole month in parallel to the Anacortes art festival. I am officially done with that. "Emerald Fascination" 12x16 pastel Some of the pieces delivered to the gallery The painting above was done very recently (like a week ago) based on a field study at the North Cascades Institute at Diablo Lake, WA. The Plein Air Washington Artists group organized a paint-out in this location and I was lucky to join. 3 days of beautiful and refreshing scenery. I had forgotten how intense Plein Air painting can be, packing and moving gear around, hiking, dealing with bugs and sunburns. I had lots of fun because when you have the "plein air bug" like I call it, you dont care about anything but embracing nature right in front of you and how lucky you are to be painting it. Hi there! what a view The group strategizing Robin Weiss capturing the sunset light On the awards side of things I was honored to receive the "Elizabeth Mowry Poetic Landscape Award" at the Pastel Society of Colorado Annual Open "Mile High" exhibit that is currently hanging in Parker, Colorado at PACE. This is the first time receiving an award in this exhibit. It's a beautiful show. More information here. I also got accepted into the Pastel USA exhibit again by the Pastel Society of the West Coast. This is a very prestigious show and it's highly competitive. I really like how this painting turned out and I am happy its the one that will be in the show. Unfortunately I can't show it to you until the show is hung. It will be posted soon. But the real highlight is that these last 2 weeks my sister-in-law came to visit from Australia and I got to meet my new brand niece. I got my baby fix for sure. Very amazing girls. The oldest one is already so tall and grown up! Amelie Brianna See you at the opening at Scott Milo on friday August 3rd at 6pm!
