On Saturday April 5th the Tucson Plein Air Painters will be having their Distinguished Artist Show at the Arizona Desert Sonora Museum in Tucson. If you haven't been down to the Museum you should go. It is 12 miles west (take Speedway west)of Tucson. It is really a desert zoo with animal exhibits and incredible lush desert views and trails. Check their website to see all the events happening there at
www.desertmuseum.org/arts. There is a real nice restaurant there also. The TPAPS artists show is an annual show with paintings from the juried Artist members. There are 30 artists participating with 90 paintings. On Saturday, the 5th starting early in the morning the artists will be painting on the grounds, they will turn in their wet paintings around noon. Those paintings will be shown along with 90 other works already hanging. At 2:00pm the Reception starts where the awards will be announced for 1,2,3rd and a special award given by the director of the Ironwood Gallery. Top prize is $1,000. so it should be fun. The reception will have finger foods, and a wine bar. It is rare to be able to watch this many artist of this level at one location painting. If you would like a free pass for April5th for two, email me your snail mail address and I will get one out to you. There will be an Online Show on
www.tpaps.com site where you can enjoy the paintings. But remember the images are only as good as your monitor, you can't see brush strokes or bits of dirt in the paint. Not that you'll ever see that in my paintings- Actually one artist Bill Hartmann mixes the dirt at the scene in with his paint. The show opens on the 5th and runs till May 18th. Make a day trip out of it, if you come down for a weekend, Old Tucson movie studios are located just a couple of miles from the Museum and that is fun.
