The Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters are currently holding their 3rd annual show at the Barnes and Noble in Pittsford, NY. The show runs through February 1. Over 70 paintings are displayed - check it out if you're in the area! The show was juried and judged by Steve Carpenter.
All 5 of my submitted paintings were accepted and are hanging in the main "gallery" (the community room). I received a "Judges Award" for Wyoming County Vista:
The other paintings accepted into the show included "Ice Fishing, Braddock Bay" and "Salmon Creek Under Snow", which have been previously posted, and the following two which have not been posted until now:
"Burger Park, Early Spring". As the title indicates, this 10x12 oil on canvas was painted this past spring, about the time the trees were just leafing out. Lots of nice subtle shades of green. Things were just starting to grow in the plowed field, making a nice contrast with the rich warm soil on this beautiful spring day.
"Peak Color", painted this fall at Burger Park. This is an 8x10 pastel. I just liked the way the trees framed the partial view of the house. The furrows in the recently plowed field provided a nice lead-in.
