Our paint out event on Friday and the Sunday rain date was a great success. There were 13 artists painting at the various sites of the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site in Fort Hunter and also at the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs in Auriesville, NY. The weather was definitely different each day - we had extreme heat and humidity on Friday, rain all day Saturday, and cool and windy on Sunday. Sunday's wind was gale force for most of the morning, but we were still able to complete paintings.
The artists were from different art groups and this made for a nice day of meeting artists, talking about art and of course lots of painting. The paint out was scheduled to run from 9am to 3pm, but several of the artists stayed until after 6pm both days. Everyone loved the idea of a Worldwide paint out.

Pennsylvania En Plein Air Society had a great day for painting. We started by fueling up on pancakes cooked over an open fire at Salt Springs State Park...then got out our easels and went to work. We had 11 participants and a few onlookers and a runaway llama.
What a very, very good day. Everyone wants it to be an annual event...with pancakes!
We should pick up a little post event publicity which I will pass along.

You can´t imagine how wonderful it was this year here! I decided to do it different and tried to gather all art groups and individual artists from Rio and other cities. Besides, after broadcasting in an art community other states registered as you know.The response was great.Well, I´ve just finished uploading some photos in my blog and I also wrote a journal about the event.

Here in NH we 11 members participate in the
World Wide Paint Out over the 3 days, but the
areas where we painted - and hurricane Hannah! -
made it difficult to get a group together for a group photo.
Even at our reception on Sunday, there was no time when everyone present on Sunday was in the room at the same time!
A total of 19 paintings were produced over the 3 days and 4 of them sold at the reception. The rest remain on display (and available for sale) through the Newmarket Heritage Festival this weekend.

I am the only plein air painter in the little town of Peschici,
Italy. (Va bene.) It is a gorgeous place and the World Wide Paint Out
helped to introduce me to the community here. Several locals and
tourists stopped by to watch. I met people from Brussels, London,
southern France, Holland, and, of course, Italy.

We had a great three days painting on the Queen's Park Savannah.
On the 5th, we set up in front of the Boissiere House, otherwise known as the Gingerbread House, and on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7th we set up a Tent, and got signage (which we will use annually) to establish ourselves in front of the Stollmeyer's Castle.
The Art Society of Trinidad & Tobago along with the PICASSO's got together for this event.
We all look forward to next year.
Happy Painting,
