PAPNM paint out continued..

These are the remaining paintings of the PAPNM paint out in the beautiful region of Ruidoso, NM.  Most of the week was quite windy and at times Smokey from the forest fires that were burning in Arizona and New Mexico.  There is currently a show at the Ruidoso Arts Center, until June 30th.   Each participating artist submitted two paintings from the week of the paint out, and the paintings were judged for awards by artist Michael Hurd.  I was so very pleased that the judge choose my painting, as "Best Pastel".  

"By the creek"  chosen Best Pastel by the paint out judge, Michael Hurd. 

"Bonita Lake" 9x12 plein air pastel.  

"Morning Shadows of Lincoln "  9x12

The paint out was a fun and enjoyable experience in a new location and new artists friends.  Next Stop Albuquerque.
