In this post, I'm going to show you the development of one painting which will be in this exhibit. "April Morning: New Harmony, IN" is a featured painting with sketches, a field study, progressive photos, and the final, large developed painting.

This will give you a preview of the Tippecanoe Arts Federation exhibition this month--Oct 21. If you get to see the full exhibition, I'd certainly enjoy your comments. You can see this and all my paintings on my web site along with purchasing information. www.kathrynclarkfineart.com
Now I have another treat for you. After I sent my post about the West Baden Springs Hotel Paint-Out, I found out that the Brown County Art Gallery in Nashville, IN, http://www.browncountyartgallery.org/westbaden/springshotel.html who sponsored the event, created a great video of it. You'll see Howard playing his guitar and hear him playing the background music at the beginning of the video. You'll also see me painting along with others, the huge domed atrium of the hotel , the sale of paintings on the veranda, and the very last painting they show in the video is my finished plein air of the hotel. Here's the link:http://www.browncountyartgallery.org/westbaden/paintout.html
The fall is going to be busy and exciting around here; I trust it will be for you too.
