The Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters are having a themed show this summer at the Wehle Gallery at the Genesee Country Village. The show is titled "Under Open Skies: Nature Past and Present" and is based on paintings about life in the Genesee Valley in the 1800s. Approximately 300 paintings were entered by members, with this total reduced to 152 during the judging process. The paintings will be on display all summer, with an opening reception kicking things off on May 10. I was very fortunate to get 8 paintings accepted into the show.The painting here, titled "Hamilton House", is an 11x14 oil on canvas. It was painted late last summer/fall on the ground of the Genesee Country Village, specifically for the show. I think it required 3 visits to the site to complete to my satisfaction. I will post more information about the show in the near future, so check back for updates. You can also visit the GVPAP website or the Genesee Country Village website for more details.
