Gadsden Light

Gadsden Light from the Brow___24 x 18___for the Southeastern Plein Air Festival
Last year this time, I was in Gadsden, Alabama, painting in the Southeastern Plein Air Festival. Due to a ball game, SAT test, Prom and a school athletic banquet, I could not go this time, but I worked in the studio from last year's photos...here is a painting that I am sending to the Gadsden Museum of Art. They have accepted it to do something special with it...not sure what, yet. It is a view of Gadsden, AL from the "brow", a hill rising above the town. The river is the Coosa River, and I forget the name of the other hill...maybe another brow? Hey Becky! Leave a comment when you see this and tell everyone the name of the other mountain. Last year we had HUGE storms pop up on opening night, and this painting reminds me of when I painted on the brow, and watched the storm roll in.
GO SEE THE ARTISTS' work, bid on a masterpiece and support plein air painting in the Southeast! Wish I was there! vvaughan8@yahoo.com

Those Blue Alabama Hills

"Blue Alabama Hills"____6x8 oil on linen panel_____$150

We have "atmosphere" in Texas, but not this much! It does not feel humid, but there must be lots of moisture in the air to make the hills this blue...gorgeous! I did not do justice in this, my FIRST Alabama painting....tomorrow I will go out with my hosts and scout some locations for Saturday's workshop. I am told that we have a FULL workshop of enthusiastic painters, ready for plein air and chicken clinics! Contact the Gadsden Museum of Art

THANK YOU to Kristi Reed with WJXS-TV 24 in Jacksonville, AL, who did a fantastic interview with us, today. It will air tomorrow morning at 5:30 or 6 am and at 5:30 pm. (I am not sure about the am time, so get up to watch at 5:30, just in case....hahaha)
