Rich Krake presents Grand Prize winner, Diane Washa with her award for From Ground to Sky
Plein Air Contest Ends BeautifullySunday afternoon , October 7, saw the wrap up of the Seventh Annual Theodore Robinson Plein Air Competition at the newly opened Emma’s Table at John M Evans Hall. It was a grand show and sale of the works of 18 artists from around the state. Artists from across southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois came together to present paintings for judging that had been produced in and around Evansville over the previous nine days.
No one envied the team of three judges as they picked the best of the works presented for judging. But, in the end, and after much discussion, they chose three of the finest paintings for the giant ribbons and monetary prizes. Based on composition, brush work, and color use Diane Washa’s From Ground to Sky received the purple ribbon and $1000 cash prize as Best in Show. Other prizes went to Jan Norsetter for her painting of Magnolia Bluff and to James Faecke for Autumn Fields Off Tupper Road. The Theodore Robinson Plein Air competition is presented by the Friends of Eager Free Public Library, the Theodore Robinson Society, and Evansville Community Partnership. Sponsors this year included The Grove Market, John and Sandy Decker, and the City of Evansville Tourism Commission. Thanks are also due to EMMA’s Table at The John M Evans Hall for the venue and to Shannon Law Office for serving as a check-in for the artists. Paintings from the competition have been moved to Creekside Place where they will remain on display through late November and where they may be purchased if you choose. Watch the Creekside Place Facebook page for postings of the works for sale there. |
