Acceptance Into A Juried Paint Out
 |
| Driftwood Texaco, 5x7 |
While reading online at Outdoor Painter (Plein Air Magazine),
I saw an ad for Paint The Town 2019, a plein air paint out in Marble Falls
Texas. Since I am working toward doing more plein air paintings, I read the
information. This paint out is not near my house but I noted and confirmed
that it is near my sister’s house. Even though I have not painted in a Juried
Plein Air Event, I have painted in several plein air paint outs. After texting
my sister to confirm that I could stay with her if accepted, I decided to
apply. The application included a Bio, an link to my website, and photos of my plein air work.
I was thrilled and surprised to get an email that I have been
juried into the paint out! WOW! Exciting and oh boy I have some painting and
planning to do!
I need to coordinate the dates with my sister so that I and
my art stuff can descend on her home. I have painted in paint outs before, so I
am not concerned with my supplies or getting my supplies to the destination.
I am concerned that I will not get enough plein air painting
days outside before the event. The weather here has been ‘feels like teens’ and
no sun, which means no outside time for me! I live up north and there will not
(for me) be many paint opportunities between now and the paint out dates. I
need to figure out how best to prepare for this event, in a painter way.
Organizationally I have this! I have the equipment and motivation, I just have to
figure out how to create more landscapes between now and then. In the meantime,
I am looking at my TX reference photos and creating little studies. And, I am
reading as many landscape books as I can get my hands on.
Here are the Paint Out details (stay tuned more to come!):
