Walters Cultural Center Annual Plein Air Competition

"Eastman Plaza" (Only Blue)
Oil on Canvas
16" x 20"
Here you see both the photo I took when I started the day and my finished painting. Yes, I know the building is tan in real life but tan is so boring that I decided to try painting it my colors gone wild method that I have been toying with lately. It was the 4th annual Plein Air Competition sponsored by Walters Cultural Center in Hillsboro. The painters are fun and the event is great! Even though it is a competition everyone makes you feel special.

I like your blue version better than the original - maybe the owners will get some ideas! And I see now that it is in Hillsboro!
