| Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Uhlinger from Monterey California returned to Zion this year and purchased my “Quick Draw” painting at the Auction.They also purchased a second painting from the Fixed-price show. |
We just concluded a week-long painting event in Zion National Park. I was one of 25 artists invited from throughout America to participate in this plein air invitational. We painted every day as well as presented demonstrations and interacted with the crowds of visitors who came to watch the excitement. I was pleased to produce and sell 10 paintings on-location during the week and also won the “People’s Choice Award” with a $200 cash prize. The weather was both wonderful and frightful, starting out with temperatures in the 70’s and ending up with a snow storm and temperatures in the 30’s. The autumn leaves were perfect with brilliant yellows and reds to contrast with the dark cliffs. It was all perfectly wonderful. Painting outdoors is great no matter the weather!
