I did three paintings today. I painted a rusty gate at Shake Rag Alley, a rural farm scene, and a nocturne painting on Jail Alley Street. I didn’t get done until 10 pm. I feel exhausted.

I am participating in the 5th Annual Paint the Point plein air painting festival for the next few days. You are invited to come observe 45 professional artists from seven states as they paint scenes of historic Mineral Point and the surrounding driftless countryside.

Over 120 paintings will be available for purchase on Saturday from 10 am til 6 pm at the Masonic Lodge, 304 High Street Mineral Point.

Saturday morning I will be participating in the Quick Paint competition from 8 am to 10 am in the historic district of Mineral Point. These paintings will be available for purchase after judging and awards..about 1 pm.
