2014 Escalante Canyons Art Festival Winners

 

                                         
We did it, pulled off the 2014 Art Festival with a minimum amount of teeth gnashing and train wrecking. Thank you everyone who helped me in my first attempt at organizing the Plein Air portion of the event.
Now for a little R&R!!!!

Getting Ready for Escalante Canyons Art Festival

Brad has been scouting for the perfect subject matter for the Plein Air Competition. Be sure to stop by the exhibit to see what he decided upon! Exhibit is judged on Friday the 26th and opens to the public at 11:00am.

Plein Air Painting by Brad

This is one of Brad's favorite plein air paintings, painted for the Escalante Canyons Art Festival a few years ago.

my good friend Sue Bassett



During the art festival we will have a quilt exhibition again this year at The People's Exchange. The exhibit promises to be as nice as it was last year. So everyone make plans for the festival. Sept. 26th and 27th.

A couple of years ago while Brad  was scoping out spots to compete in the Escalante Canyons Art Festival Plein Air Competition we were up at Stump Springs looking around.  He did this piece from that trip later and every time I look at it I can feel that great Fall air and light.

Morning Glories

Every summer we have morning glories in the front of the studio. One year I did this painting from them for the Escalante Canyons Art Festival. I didn't submit it for the competition. But a couple of years later it did get a ribbon at the county fair. Some day I'll post the picture I did submit to the plein air exhibit.
