Had a great time in Atlanta painting and meeting other plein air artists from all over...
We painted the historic area of College Park. I won Honorable Mention! yea.
The 1 1/2 day paint out and show was juried by James Richards. (www.jrichardsstudio.com)
one of my faves..

Millie Gosch (www.milliegosch.com) was our gracious host, organizing the event and who also has a gallery on Main, the City Muse.
see more about the event at http://margaretdyer.blogspot.com/ ..Margaret Dyer, whom I enjoyed talking with, took home Best of Show. she writes much better than I.
