The two works above are the plein air paintings that I did during the OPA National Show. The first one is on Bear Creek and the lower one is a small tree coming out of a large rock near the area we painted out on the first day of the Plein Air event. On June 20 - 23 I attended the OPA National Show. The quality of the show was very impressive. The Evergreen Fine Art Gallery did a great job displaing and hosting the show. It was a great time networking with the other artists in attendence and taking in some of the lectures offered. I also participated in the plein air paint out sponsored by Southwest Art magazine. There were about 80 artists spread throughout the property of Kimberly Moore. These works then were displayed for sale in the Plein Air tent adjacent to Evergreen Fine Art on Saturday night.
