Best of Show-Purchase Award
 I just did this painting this morning and it won the Best of Show at the Ralph Love Plein Air Festival, in Temecula.  It was really hot, but I was set up in a nice shady spot... for a while.  The shade disappeared and I finished it in the baking sun, it was worth it though... one of my best I think.

Honorable Mention-San Clemente Plein Air Festival
I was excited to win an honorable mention at the San Clemente Plein Air Fest this weekend.  It's a very talented group of artists, and there were over 200 paintings there, so I it's definitely an honor.

I painted these the for the San Clemente Plein Air Festival.  The show opens on June 27th, and promises to be great as usual.  Hope I see you there.
