There were some amazing pieces created during the plein air event, and I wanted to share some of my favorite works before I left town and got sidetracked by other cities. I neglected to write down titles and artists.
This first is an acrylic painting that just floored me--the artist is sketching with paint! I saw this and thought to myself, "She's doing exactly what I want to do with the markers and pens with my rough sketch illustrations and exactly what I need to be doing with paint!" Swaths and blocks of color and some line-work to add details where needed. The eye and the brain fill in the rest. LOVE IT!

Ditto the following. The juror created a special award for this one and then bought it for himself! Let me say that again: the COMPETITION JUDGE bought this painting . . . that's a major coup for the artist!

And then these are just some of my other favorites:
