The City of Hillsboro Plein Air Event ended today with a reception and award ceremony at the Walters Cultural Arts Center. My oil painting won 2nd Place in the Landscape division; it was painted at Jackson Bottom Wetlands. It was a good event and weather conditions were near perfect most of the time. About 40 artists participated. Many of us knew each other and I want to thank those who walked by me as I was painting, and offered words of encouragement. There were 3 painting categories: Landscape, Cityscape, and a Quick Draw Figurative, and all of the submitted paintings were excellent. Kitty Wallis, in the photo with me, was the judge. As many of you know she is a nationally recognized artist and the creator of Wallis art paper. -Janet Amundson-Splidsboel SOLD
