Grand Marais Plein Air Competition




PALS participated in this year's event sponsored by the Grand Marais Art Colony. Painting skills were prime, just having finished the mentoring program. The weather wasn't always fully cooperative, but we all finished paintings. We were each allowed to submit two paintings for the main event, plus a night scene, plus a "quick draw".

Michelle had not participated in a plein air event before. Her hope was to finish two paintings suitable for entry. She was able to do that, plus a night scene.

Lisa was a previous award winner at this event, completed her two paintings, a night scene, and a quick draw. She won Second Place, plus the People's Choice award.

Cheryl was new to this event, and an award winner from a different event this summer. She submitted her two paintings, a night scene, and a quick draw. She won First Place in the main event!
