Fuel Storage, 9 x 12, oil by Ron Donoughe

I just got back from the Plein Air Easton event. It was a pretty big deal with 58 painters from across the United States. Going in I didn't think it would be my "cup of tea". Well to put it mildly it was an amazing event. The caliber of work was extremely high and the folks I met were all very nice. It is a highly organized event and the folks that run it are determined to make the artists feel special. They did indeed. I won honorable mention for Fuel Storage.

If anyone is interested I'll be teaching a 3 day workshop in Wellsboro, PA, Aug 10 - 12. I believe Julie and Claire are joining me. Should be fun. Maybe I'll learn something from them!
It is at Red Barn Arts,

Congratulations on the award Ron! It's a great painting! I think there is something addictive in the air at those plein air events - but Easton is a wonderful one.

I am SOOO looking forward to your workshop!! (I doubt there is anything you could learn from me.)

Excellent! I could stare at those whites all day. Congratulations on the award, and I'm glad you enjoyed the whole event, which sounds pretty heady.
