I was among 34 artist's juried in by Tom Saupe, director of community outreach for alternatives.
Yesterday was the" quick- draw ", of the competition. Paintings where done at a farm in Sutton Mass, and had to be completed in three hours.
The paintings that were produced over the weekend were Judged by T. M. Nicholas. Next weekend will be the auction of the paintings. The auction will begin at 5:30 on October 5, in the Singh Performance Center. Alternatives' Whitin Mill, 50 Douglas Road in Whitinsville.

The Blackstone Valley Plein Air Competition was my first competition. It was a great experience to get out of my comfort zone and paint with accomplished plein air artist's. The event was well managed and the staff at Alternatives was warm and helpful.
I did six paintings. I felt my last painting was the best. It seemed to take a bit to warm up and paint in a different environment than the cape.
I didn't win anything but the experience of having to produce work and finish was challenging. I think these types of events are helpful in pulling you up to the next level in your work. The friendly sportsman ship attitude of the other artist's was also a rewarding experience.
There is much to be gained in looking at so many artist's approaches to the same challenges, plein air painting presents.
