Funny how both the ones done in the pouring rain did so well! Thankfully I had my easel umbrella. In recognition of battling with the elements I was also awarded the amusingly titled 'golden umbrella'!
Personally, I think there's a strong swell of plein air painting emerging in this country. It's about time we showed what we can acheive. It was great to see artists such as Adebanji Aladeand Roy Connelly there, both of whom are highly skilled plein air artists.
The show is on at the Octagon in Bath until October 9th. Well worth a visit if you can get to Bath with loads of top quality works based on Bath. Here's my other entries for the show:
