The 3rd Annual Plein Air Competition and Silent Auction will kick-off with the painters canvassing the Valley as they paint original pieces from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. As you drive, hike, or bike around the Valley you will see the artists perched precariously by the side of a gravel road or under a long branch of a tree as they attempt to capture the light and landscape in their paintings. Stop and take a look at their passion and their process: it is amazing to see how they are able to capture a moment in time on canvas. At 3:00 p.m. the artists will bring their framed pieces to Wolf Mountain for display and judging. The Silent Auction will begin at 4:00 p.m. with the Awards Announcement at 5:00 p.m. Be one of the first to experience and purchase paintings at the 3rd Annual Ogden Valley Plein Air Competition and Silent Auction! Enjoy the company of friends and conversation with the participating artists as you bid on original Plein Air masterpieces. Like the difference between hearing your favorite bird sing a tune just outside your kitchen window or just hearing a recording of it, Plein Air art is about life and being in the moment. There are no two seconds alike in nature, and the excitement that emerges from capturing a moment in time makes it easy to understand why artists worldwide have begun painting in the Plein Air style.
Those who were in attendance at the 2nd Annual event will long remember Steven Heward, of Sandy, Utah and his piece titled “Huntsville Pond.” The artwork reflected a myriad of soft colors and tones with a bold water’s edge. “Color,” according to David Koch, the 2nd Annual judge, was what instantly commanded his attention and attracted him to Heward’s piece, thus garnering Heward the 1st place award. Kris Wilkerson of Wilkerson Fine Art & Consulting, sponsor of this 3rd annual event, is motivated by her desire to enrich lives through art. She has found that connection and expression through art lifts the human spirit and in that lifted state a ripple effect occurs. The mission of Wilkerson Fine Art & Consulting is to provide a forum for local artists to connect to the community, and to assist the community in living a rich, well-considered life through original artwork. Wilkerson Fine Art & Consulting invites you to take time to experience and embrace life enriched through art by participating as an artist or collector at this year’s event. _____________________________________________________________ More information about upcoming events or other services offered by Wilkerson Fine Art & Consulting, contact Kris Wilkerson at 801 745-9557 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it www.WilkersonFineArt.com Related Items: |
