An intense few days of plein air painting and a surprising amount of difficulty finding public wireless networks in the town kept me from posting any updates about the event during the four days.
In any case, I completed eight paintings in three days. The painting above was completed on Saturday during the “Quick Draw” competition. The Qhick Draw requires that the artist complete a plein air painting in 2 hours. This painting is of the 9/11 Memorial erected to remember six residents of the town who lost their lives in the World Trade Center. I was drawn to this view, behind and to the left of the monument for the sweeping curve of the overhead element and the way the shade and shadows played on this, the “unlit” side of the memorial.
Although this work did not sell during the event, it is on exhibit and available for purchase at the Artists Framer, 17 North Ave East, Cranford, NJ.
I’ll post more of the Cranford works in the coming week.
