Grand Prix of Art

September the 20th I've participated in the annual art contest. Over 100 artists competed in this  competition. Paintings were exhibited at Britannia Heritage Shipyard, Richmond, BC
Even though I'm not a winner I've got a very unforgettable plein air experience. I'm very proud to announce that my guild mate's James Koll painting placed third overall 
My painting was sold during the Art Show of the contest paintings.

Deep Cove plein air practice

 Deep Cove. Sketch. 2014
SOLD

Going to participate in the annual art contest in Richmond I went to Deep Cove - my favorite place to refresh my plein air skills and figure out what canvas size would be affordable for me for 3hour painting next week in Stevenson. This sketch was made in 2hours.
More about the even in the next post...

New life of the old painting


This cityscape was painted a year ago. It based on some sketches and pictures that were made during my walk to Gastown last Summer. Year after I finally (as it always happened!) figured out what did I miss in it - some puddles with the reflections!!! So, I need a new title for it...
What do you think?

And again my favourite pomegranates!

This painting looks close to the previous one I've made last year due to the same cloth that was used as a background. I like this color the most to emphasize red flam of the pomegranates.

Late Spring Plein Air



In the end of May I went again to enjoy plein air work as well as hot tab at the St.Agnes Well Hot Springs. I can honestly say that this is the most spectacular backcountry road I've ever had. This time it was very windy to paint (I can hardly hold my easel on its legs!), but I've made one finished painting and couple more sketches that still need some touch ups. I'll add them later.
