Plein Air Easton Quick Draw Competition

Last weekend, I participated in the 2-hour Quick Draw Competition during the 4th annual Plein Air Easton event. On Saturday morning, painters from all over the country took part in this fun paint-out competition in downtown Easton, MD. We had two hours to paint a plein-air painting. At noon, the piece had to be framed and displayed on an easel. All easels were then lined up on the main street for judging and so the public could see the works and purchase them. It was a real warm day and two hours is not a lot of time...but what a good time we had! My painting of a fountain, entitled "The Sun Bath" sold to a nice couple from Pittsburgh, PA. (Thank you very much for your purchase and helping me get my competition forms!). Joe, my husband came up for moral support and there were a number of Eastern Shore Art League friends who participated as well. It was a truly fantastic experience and I'm looking forward to participating again next year! If you'd like more information about this fabulous art event, visit: http://www.pleinair-easton.com/.
