From Sharon: 

"Sharon Abshagen’s Plein Air Painting “Aspen Patterns” was given the Kathy Wahling and Jane Clayton Founders Award at the Plein Air Painters of the Four Corners Exhibition. The show is at the Gateway Museum in Farmington, New Mexico through the month of December."

From Carole Belliveau:

"I just got home from a very discouraging plein air session with a less than stelar painting.

Driving home I was thinking I should hang up my painting knives permanently when I received this totally unexpected message:

Congratulations! Your painting, "Overcast in Galesteo", was an award winner in the July 2024 BoldBrush Painting competition. A huge heartfelt thanks goes out to the amazing painter Ramona Younquist for her encouragement! I believe I will paint another day!

"Overcast in Galesteo" was awarded the honor 3rd Place by Romona Youngquist.

Our goal is to assemble approximately 100 of the finest display of representational oil paintings. The focus in the jurying process will be to select paintings that show the highest quality in draftsmanship, color, and composition, emphasizing a diversity in representational style and subject matter.
