I have just returned from the Hockaday Plein-Air Paintout for 2012.   We were to paint on the Montana Land Relience Conservation Properties this year.  It was quite an experience.  There were 6 or 7 different properties for us to choose from, but we could not scout them out previous to the paint-out.  So, it took alot of our time to travel and find places to paint.  We were treated to some outstanding landscapes and it was wonderful to meet and visit with many of the other painters.  Like last year, we presented 2 to 3 paintings for the party and sale held at the Hockaday on Saturday evening.  It was a very nice event, with fabulous hors d'oeuvers and wonderful paintings to view, until the torrent hit and drenched everything.  I will post the two paintings I contributed to the paint-out sale.  This is a fund raiser for the Hockaday Museum.

Good news.  I am pleased to announce I was chosen by the Hockaday Art Museum in Kalispell, Mt. to participate in their plein-air paintout again this year.  This year we will be painting on conservation land and the paintings will be offered for sale at the Hockaday annual sale, June 23rd.

Finally, I finished Guardians of the Ditch.  And I finished my childrens' portraits.  I am not terribly happy with them nor terrible unhappy...I don't know, they are not what I had hoped for, but maybe as good as I can do.  Will post them.  Let me know what you think.
