And another paint-out

This weekend I’m heading to Douglas/Saugatuck, Michigan to paint in Waterstreet Gallery’s annual “Wet Paint” show. About 25 painters spend the day Saturday painting the area and then gather for an evening reception and sale. A fun time, some great artists, and a wonderful location.

Here is a painting I started en plein air earlier this summer and have just gotten some studio time to finish. Always have to work to keep that plein air spontaneity and freshness when back at home. This one got a little tighter than I’d have liked.

Also, if you get Plein Air Magazine’s weekly email newsletter you may have seen my “Peoples Choice” award painting from a couple of weeks ago. It links to a short story with even a picture of me!
