More Plein Air Paint-Out Reception Impressions

Dianne Lorden and the couple who purchased her pastel painting

Mary Beth Brath and Sue Gray seeming to be intensely involved in something, and my painter-friend/Artist Colony-participant Sharon Benner mugging for the camera

Cropped view of what was supposed to be the floral arrangement for the food table, but there was so much food there wasn't space!

My on-site sketch impression of the reception paintings and a few attendees.

My reception photographs proved to be very much the same as the ones Claire Carnell already posted, but I had a few that weren't repeats so I wanted to share. Once again I SO enjoyed participating in this event, and very much appreciate the efforts of Susan Gray and Mary Beth Brath to pull this together and make it a success. I  hope that we can continue this for many years to come, and if any of you want to come paint out on the Gettysburg battlefield with me this summer, please let me know! My goal is to go out and paint on the battlefield once a week for the duration of the summer, and I'd love to have company!

Another gorgeous day at the Gettysburg Battlefield. This is my painting of Plum Run with a view of Big Round Top in the distance. This painting will be shown at the reception on Sunday, the 19th of June at the Train Station in Gettysburg along with many other artists who were associated with the Plein Air Paint Out and Artist's colony.

Reception is from 1 to 4 pm.

Day three plein air painting at Beech Spring Farms by Linda Young

This is the painting from the Beech Spring Farms.  There were so many flowers in the potting shed garden, I was overwhelmed by them all being the "newkid on the block" plein air artist as I am.   Looking back at this one, less would have been better in the foreground, I think.  I will probably do this one again only on a larger, looser scale in the future.  But, I could crop it....(see below)

What do you think?  The one above, or this cropped one?
