Mountain Maryland Plein Air Event

The Mountain Maryland Plein Air Event has been fabulous.   The 28 juried artists covered Western Maryland since Tuesday, painting the wonderful scenes of the area.   Several of them painted in Garrett County capturing the beauty of our area.   Saturday morning featured the Quick Draw event.  The artists had 2 hours to begin and finish a painting and then enter it for judging.   Picture here is Stewart White, from Baltimore, painting the Embassy Theater on the downtown mall of Cumberland.   Stewart's painting won first prize in the Quick Draw.   It has been a wonderful week of sharing the beauty of Western Maryland with painters from all over the mid atlantic.   I look forward to hosting an artists again next year and getting to "talk shop" with these fine artists.    Their work will continue to hang at the Saville Gallery until June 10.
