My first plein air competition
on: October 13, 2019, 11:07:12 PM
I was invited to take part in the Bisbee Plein Air Festival in Arizona this week. 3 days of painting in this  quaint mining town. Day 1 I was anxious and didn't paint well. Day 2 I was a little more relaxed and getting into the mood. Day 3 I was having fun and meeting the other artist. It's the first time my work has been judged and although I didn't win anything I did get several comments and much to my surprise sold a painting.
1st day

2nd day

3rd day


Sold!
I have no idea why this is upside down! I even turned the original upside down and re-saved it but it
still comes out upside down!

I really like this very much, Bill. Such a difficult building to draw plein air and you’ve got the perspectives and the shadows so well! Congrats for selling! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
