I enjoyed a wonderful plein air event in Ste Genevieve Mo Last week----and had the beautiful reward of receiving "Best of Show " in oils for this 8 x 12 painted at sunset at Chaumette Winery---"Evening Splendor" -----I arrived in Ste Gen and went directly to Charleville winery --------knowing it would be a rush to paint a small piece and enter the "Paint the Wineries " contest-----so I decided to just paint on my own -------I painted this 8 x 10 "Cosmos with a View" as the other artists painting there went off to the evening's reception----I then decided to hurry over to Chaumette ----it's about 5 oclock at this point ----to paint the sunset ---the owner graciously allowed me to stay and paint after closing ------and I relaxed into the warm glow of sunset and long shadows that blanketed the huge view------ relaxed and painted quickly -----is that an oxymoron? In alla prima style---I think it is just what the painter needs!!

As an added bonus I sold ----" Evening Splendor"---- the next day as I was framing it outside the Main Street Inn-----!
