Last Saturday I participated in the Paint Webster plein air event. (Plein air means outdoors.) The weather was beautiful so it was a perfect morning to sit outside and paint. I chose to set up in Lorraine Davis Park and paint the lovely Bluestar flowers that were blooming.
About sixty artists entered the event. In the afternoon, there was a nice reception and awards were given. I enjoyed meeting the other artists, many who specialized in plein air painting. I didn't win a prize but felt rewarded because the whole day was such a very fun experience.
You can view a nice video about the event here Paint Webster 2024.
All the paintings are on display at the Webster Arts gallery until June 14th.
