Plein Rein 2020 new calendar time!

The plein air painters of Juneau, AK 
(Plein Rein Painters - this link is for the facebook page) 

have made a calendar for many years

and I have been involved for a few of the recent calendars.

Our method of selection is quite democratic; 

we submit up to 3 images

and then on one day we show up

and vote for 14 our favorites. 

One for each month, one each 

for frontispiece and the package cover.

This year my painting (painted IN June) is the June 2020 calendar page!

I am honored to be in this famous calendar.

I never did blog about this group plein air outing, 

so I will now ... here are the photos from that day.

Above photo is the original scene from where I was standing

  (out-standing in the field ... 🤣) ... sorry ...

I remembered to take some progress photos!

My fav wildflower, if I must pick, is the Shooting Star.

Dodecatheon jefferyi

There were a ton of them out in the wetlands 

of Eagle River (a bit of the river is showing in the painting).

Please note: this painting is now in a private collection in Austin, Texas.

Thanks so much for checking in ... happy fall and happy painting!
