These are the two paintings I submitted to the Hockaday Glacier Paintout Fund Raiser. I am not really happy with them, but am not unhappy with my progress in plein-air painting. I had several failures, but took lots of pictures for future paintings. The park was breath-takingly beautiful. This was an amazing experience and my painting buddy and chief back-patter (my niece Linda) and I had so much fun painting plein-air in Glacier Park. Stayed at Lake McDonald...the Going to the Sun road was not opened yet because of record snow this year, some painters hiked in to vista areas, we painting mostly in the open areas...cautious because of the bears, you know. Surprisingly, there were alot of people visiting the park already, bet they were disappointed not to be able to go up the Going to the Sun and see the amazing views. There were many outstanding paintings from great artists and I was thrilled just to be one of the thirty. Hopefully, they will invite me back next year and I will be a better painter.

Here are two of my most recent landscape paintings. I have been painting furiously. I was chosen as one of thirty painters to participate in the Hockaday Museum, Glacier Park Plein-air Paint Out. So, next Wednesday we will head to Glacier to paint for three days, ending in a Garden Party at the Museum on Saturday, where our paintings will be displayed for sale. If they don't sell that night, they will hang in the Museum as their show for this month.
I am terrbly nervous, as I will be in the company of some great painters. So, wish me luck that I can paint well and that the weather cooperates, (and we don't run into any bears), as we have flooding and lots of snow still in Glacier. The Going-to-the-Sun road is not open yet and may not be until the middle of July, so much snow this year. Will post late next week to let you know how it went. :)
