Sundays
As the weather gets better there's more opportunities to paint outside. Businesses have been busy arranging gatherings, music will begin all over town at local parks and you may start seeing plein air painters working on their skills, looking for the perfect site for the local area Between the Bluffs Plein Air Event in October.
Last weekends weather moved me outside to paint at Elmaro Vineyard in Trempealeau. I'm planning on attending their June Sundays Street Market with other artists from the refuge.
From my plein air efforts I experimented and finished these two in the studio.
Shade on the Patio 8x10 oil unframed $75 |
Beyond the Vineyard 8x10 oil unframed $75 |
I've also been working on getting some spring apple blooms at Ecker's Apple Farm for my upcoming show in October at Elmaro Vineyard. Can't wait to share with you with some sneak peeks soon.
Hope to see you this Sunday, May 18 from 3:30-5:30 at Old Main Cultural Center in Galesville. I'll be in the gallery during Syttende Mai event.
Yes I'll be busy painting, questions cshoreartwork@gmail.com

St. Rose part of Tables of Joy
St. Rose 8x10 oil |
Barb had the winning bid on my contribution to Tables of Joy for the benefit of Franciscan Spirituality Center.
As"Art in Action" I painted from a photographic, a portion of the garden outside the chapel, a quick paint from 4:30 til 6 so guests could bid on auction items and then sit down for dinner.
Due to the inclement weather the venue switched from outside in the garden to indoors. I did take liberties and sketched out my composition and mixed colors on my palette before arriving to be able to finish in time. It would have been fun to paint plein air but as an artist I find I always have to adapt to evolving situations.

Thanks for inviting me to celebrate community with you, Hope.
