Went to Plantation today to paint the bougainvilleas. Me and my fellow plein air painting buddies were at the Deicke Auditorium and across the street there was a hedge of bougainvilleas that were in bloom. so much fun to be outside before it gets hot and just painting beauty.

PAPB decided to accept the invitation to Garlic Fest. The management of Garlic Fest decided to have an ‘Artist Row’ and about 10 diverse artists or groups were invited to participate. We set up our tent and were painting around the grounds. While I was there I painted the PAPB tent. It was fun but not really a good venue for finding art collectors. .
While it was worth the effort to see how it went, and those of us there enjoyed the artist camaraderie, it was more of a drinking crowd than an art buying crowd. On top of that although we had preferred parking as vendors, it was still a half mile walk and there were no accommodations for handicap. My arthritis reminded me that this is not something I should think of doing again.

I lead a group on Fine Art America, also known as Pixels for plein air paintings. I just updated the image submissions and was impressed with the beauty of our natural world expressed by plein air painters. Take a look.

I became fascinated with acrylic pour technique so I began reading up on it and watching videos. While it can stand on it’s own as abstract art, I am interested in using it as an underpainting. My plan is to paint several large panels of an ocean view with fish and coral for part of the Delray Beach backyard art. Here are some of my attempts at acrylic pour.
Old School Square hosted ‘Art on the Square’ and PAPB was there. OSS gave us a premiere spot and we painted ‘en plein air’ on site and had a tent to sell, out paintings. I SOLD two paintings, so as far as I’m conerned it was a good day. Here are some pics from the day.
