Wisteria II


Wisteria II


Gregory's Porch


On the easel

Wisteria II

One event that artists could take part in, would be a 'Paint-Out'. A Paint-Out is a day where area artists group together and paint 'en plein air' ... (out in the open). A wonderful day to organize a Paint-Out is during an event that is already taking place ... like a house tour for example. The House Tour event features many great reasons to paint:

1. You're outside painting.
2. There are friendly people walking around specifically to view architectural beauty and interior design. Paintings are included in 'interior' design.
3. You'll meet people that might not see your work in ordinary circumstances.
4. You may want to organize it that you work hangs in one of the featured homes, thus, more exposure of your work in a 'home' environment.
5. There are many subjects to paint: street scenes, gardens, architectural features etc.
6. Most likely, there's a great party afterwards with old pals and new friends!

You may want to research local galleries which may be interested in featuring the 'House Tour' paintings in a gallery exhibition. A win-win event!

Wisteria and Wisteria II were painted after the blooming season. Perhaps in the spring, I'll set up my easel on Gregory's porch to paint their purple blossoms.

If you would like to purchase this 6" x 6" oil painting on stretched canvas, please visit my website. This painting is priced at $100.00 plus s/h.

Thank You!
