Entry into OPA's Summer Salon Exhibit

Sunlit Avenue

Last January I joined Oil Painter's of America and submitted "Sunlit Avenue" to their inaugural  Summer Salon Exhibit. I'm pleased that it was accepted. Crooked Tree Art Center in Petoskey, Michigan is hosting the three day event from June 20 - 22. The event also includes an OPA Artists Plein Air Paint Out on Thursday, June 20 and a Sunset Paint Out that evening open to all artists and sponsored by Plein Air Magazine. Reception for the juried exhibit is Friday, June 21 and the reception for the paint out is Saturday, June 22. Other events include lectures and demonstrations by the OPA Jurors. This is my first experience with a national exhibit and I'm looking forward to the event weekend. Sunlit Avenue was inspired by the light quality of an evening in Tecumseh following another plein air event that had been hosted by the Black Door Gallery.
