Grand Marais Plein Air Competition 2011





It was another fine evening for PALS painters Michelle Wegler, Lisa Stauffer and Cheryl LeClair Sommer at the Artists' Reception for the exhibit of paintings created during the plein air event. 44 artists submitted paintings for the show. The event was so well attended, the food was gone in 20 minutes! The crowd was enthusiastic and seemed to really enjoy seeing the art and meeting the artists.

Michelle was awarded First Place in the Night Paint category. The new owner of the painting will be able to add that to her memories of the purchase of this painting. She and her husband are also now the proud owners of not only that painting, but of Cheryl's also. Michelle and Cheryl painted together for the night paint, and the two paintings make a beautiful set.

Lisa was awarded People's Choice for her painting.

Thank you to all who attended and made the evening so enjoyable.
