Olmsted Quick Paint

Nothing like trying to paint a painting on location, in front of a lot of people and in only 2 hours!! This was my attempt at the Olmsted Invitation Quick Paint Competition. It received very positive feed back from the judges, so hopefully, I'm on the right track!

This was my second quick paint, but I didn't rush and just tried my best. I had a good time, and saw several friends out there, so, It was a fun day.

It had been predicted to rain, but the rain held off for the event, and luckily for me, I made it back the the van just as the sky opened up. It was quit the deluge!

Until the next time,
