Plein Air award

I was delighted to receive an Award of Merit for one of my paintings from the Swope Art Museum Plein Air Event, at the awards ceremony yesterday evening.

The juror was Julio Suarez, professor of Art at Hillsdale College, MI. He gave an enjoyable and interesting plein air demo yesterday evening, accompanied by thunder, but we never felt rain.

Musallem Union, Rose-Hulman, 11 x 14 ins, oil on canvas board

This was painted in one session on the morning of 6/24/25. The main part of the building pictured here is the Dining Hall in the Union building.

I painted from the small beach on the side of the lake— a great way to spend a morning!

This painting was recently awarded People’s Choice Award at our RCAA member Show in Marshall, IL, at the Gaslight Art Colony. The Show is over, but this painting is still on display there until the end of December.

It’s the first time I’ve received a People’s Choice Award, and I’m delighted!

Second Place!

Acrylic, 9 x 12

This week I found out that this painting won second place in a local juried show! The entries for this show had to be on a ‘serene, inspirational or uplifting theme’. I was away in England for the whole show and so did not find out the result until my husband went to collect the paintings. What a lovely surprise!
