June-A-Palooza 2024: A Parisian Experience

Posted on by

I painted a scene of Paris for June-A-Palooza, an outdoor fundraising event to benefit Fresh Meals On Wheels of Sheboygan County.  The palette-shaped sculpture is one of many metal sculptures that will be sold at an auction at Christopher Farm & Gardens during the event.  All proceeds from the auction will benefit Fresh Meals On Wheels of Sheboygan County.

I will be one of about 20 Sheboygan Visual Artists painting en plein air around the extraordinary grounds of Christopher Farm & Gardens during the event to help bring the ambiance of Paris to the soiree.

Guests will have the opportunity to purchase a painting after the event.  A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of paintings will benefit Fresh Meals On Wheels of Sheboygan County.

The fundraising goal this year is to raise $140,000, which is crucial to help fight malnutrition among the fragile population that Meals On Wheels serves daily.

Purchase your admission ticket $165 per person.  Premiere early event access $500 admits two people for the whole day. Exclusive 1:45 pm start with food, drinks, and a behind the scenes garden experience. Only 14 of these tickets left for 18 more days. www.juneapalooza.com

Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 3 pm to 9 pm. Stroll through the lush garden scenery as you devour French cuisine and enjoy the timeless sophistication of French culture – with a touch of Olympic spirit. Enjoy musical performances, live and silent auctions, garden art, activities, games, specialty wines and beer, food tastings, and catered dinner, all for one price.

Christopher Farm & Gardens is located at W580 Garton Road, Sheboygan, Wisconsin

Sheboygan Visual Artists Plein Air Expo

Otter Point, $400, oil, 14"x 16"

Otter Point    $400,      14″x 16″   oil   2015

This is one of the ten paintings I have on exhibit at EBCO Artworks, 1201 Erie Street, Sheboygan  from January 29, 2016 – February 14, 2016. Opening Reception is Friday, January 29, 2016 from 6 pm – 10 pm.  Complimentary refreshments.  Cash bar.

Otter Point was done from the rocky shores of Acadia National Park in Maine.  The landscapes in Acadia are inspirational with no shortage of scenes to paint. I chose this scene for the rough shapes and contrasting colors of land and sea.  One needs to be very careful while painting.   One wrong step and your painting days are over.
