These four paintings will be donated to SVA for the Small Works Project.

The purpose of SVA is to provide local and regional artists with a platform to support, empower, and promote them and their work.

Each painting is identified with a number. On July 27 ticket holders will receive a number and discover which painting they can take home. Love it or swap it. There will be an exchange wall where one can exchange the painting received for another painting on the exchange wall.

Day 105 at New Harmony

Posted on by

Clovers 9″ x 12″ watercolor

Yesterday was Day 105, my 105th painting since January 1st. Clovers was painted near New Harmony, Indiana.

My wife and I are traveling in a motorhome. It is our first trip in our 06 Navion H.

We are camping at New Harmonie State Park. The campground had been closed for the past ten days because the Wabash River flooded the road going to the campgound. Thank you God. The river receeded in time for our arrival. I am so glad to get away from the nasty weather back in Wisconsin.

Tomorrow we will spend the day exploring New Harmony. I’m here for the 20th Anniversary First Brush of Spring Paintout, a plein air art competition cosponsored by the Hoosier Salon and the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association. Over 150 artists from all over the country will be here to compete April 18 – 21, 2018.
