Plein Air Santa Fe 2015

On June 6 to the 13, I was honored to participate in the Juried Plein Air Santa Fe Festival.  After leaving beautiful Monument Valley, my friend Nita Harper and I drove to Santa Fe, for the week long event.   The paint out is coordinated though the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico.  There were about 50 artists from all over the US  participating in this fun event.  During the week we painted in and around the greater Santa Fe area.   At the end, there was an exhibition of the paintings at InArt Gallery, in Santa Fe, however one can still see the paintings on the website of PAPNM.  The exhibition is now down, but my paintings are available to you through Purple Sage Gallery in Albuquerque, NM, or from me personally.

The last day of the paint out was the "Quick Draw"  which was along the road by the Arroyo park area in Santa Fe.  The Quick draw was from 9 am to 11 am.  During that time, we had rain for about the first hour of the event, but everyone did complete their paintings.  This is my way of keeping dry out of the rain, which worked.  Below is the painting I completed during the quick draw.
