Happy Trails Day

 Today was the third annual Artists Along the Trails plein air event in the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge.

A little bit of rain dampen our efforts but we rallied at the end with a display of a wide variety of artistic styles and a nice lunch provide by the Friends of Trempealeau Refuge and the Michael Owecke Memorial Fund.

Many of the artists have more refuge inspired artwork on display for the month of June in the crush pad at Elmaro Vineyard. Plus on Street Market Sundays at the Winery many artists will be plein air painting in the Vineyard from 1-4. Be sure to join the artists for a closing reception on Sunday,  June 29 from 1-4.

Here's my two paintings from today. Subdued colors and lack of shadows due to the overcast day.
