Sailboat 1 - Seas The Day

Seas The Day
6x6, oil


Seas The Day is the first in a small series of 10 sailboats I plan to paint in oil. I’m one of twenty local artists participating in a fund raiser on April 30th at Finer Frames to benefit the Eagle Idaho Plein Air Festival (which will be held June 6-13th). Each painting must be painted on a 6x6 unframed wooden panel (which means my beloved pastels just won’t work for this event). However, what a great opportunity to practice painting in oil.  Right?

Anyway, the fund raiser is comprised of 200 6x6 paintings all of which will be up for sale for only $36. each! It should be a wildly popular event...I’m hoping to buy a couple paintings from other artists myself.
