Sedona Plein Air Invitational 2011

jbeen — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:23:21 +0000

This years Sedona Plein Air Invitational was good but not great. I think the Sedona Art Center does a great job with most of their organization, but a couple of tweaks to the show could make it great. The paintability of the area is of course amazing. Oak Creek, the Red Rocks, Dry washes, and [...]

Grand Canyon Plein Air On The Rim 2011

jbeen — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:27:20 +0000

This year at the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art, Plein Air on the Rim was one of rain and challenging plein air painting. Ironically, the day we arrived, a wet cold front moved in and stuck to the Canyon like glue until the allotted one week of painting was over, then it moved on. I’ve never seen [...]

The Peninsula extends nearly 100 miles in to Lake Michigan and is very scenic. The coastline on both sides has numerous little villages with fishing communities, harbor scenes, and beaches. The land in [...]

Between Crested Butte and Telluride, CO I can’t figure out which I think is the more beautiful, so luckily, I’ve been invited to both plein air invitationals!! Crested Butte is a quirky, but cool little historic mining town in the Central Colorado Rockies. There is a phenomenal ski area up the hill from the town [...]
