A few weeks ago I participated in an oper air art contest, where artists are required to create a piece that captured the essence of the day. I arrived around 8 in the morning and sat down to draw the day's first light. As the sun rose, and a boat streaked across the mirror surface of the lake, I hurried to sketch the moment. I had neever really drawn from real-life movements before so it was a new experience for me.
I completed my work, which I rendered in watercolored pencil, and turned it into the PAAC for judging. After beign awarded third place and a hefty check, my painting was sold to a council memeber. Because of the sale, unfortunately, I will be unable to provide an image of my work. It was a rewarding experience for me, and I will be back next year to capture the gold!
