PLEIN AIR

I have decided to challenge myself. My aunt (okay, she's my husband's aunt, but I feel like she's mine too) and I decided to register for the Spring City Plein Air Competition.

I am not sure if I am crazy or not. I just know that I need to get outside of my comfort zone once in a while to help me grow, and this seems to be doing the trick. I am very nervous. The rules are that you have 3 days to paint on location-- outside (plein air). Then on the third day you take in your matted and framed paintings (I registered to do 2), and they are hung in gallery and juried (judged). Should be interesting... I know I am not going to win, I just need to experience of showing my work and working toward a goal. I am just glad I have someone to do it with, it should make it a lot less scary.
