AUGUSTA 2009

Once again I participated in the Augusta Plein Air Art Event.  This is the 7th year for Augusta and I am one of the few artists who has been involved from the beginning.  Over 100 artists attended including my friends from Victor Celebrates the Arts in Colorado. Seeing old friends is the best part of Augusta.  Here are three of my favorites (from left to right) Rita Cirillo, Ken Martin, and Joan Parker.

My mentor, Dave Bennett, took Best of Show honors and honorable mention in oils.  Here are his prize winners and buyers.

   

I received a tremendous compliment for one of my paintings done at the event.  Peggy Rice from the Rice Gallery in Leawood, Kansas bought the "The Road Less Traveled" for display in her home.  I feel that this is one of the greatest accolades that can be paid to an artist.  Here's Peggy with the painting.
