I was very honored to receive the Best of Show award in the annual Indiana Plein Air Painters Association(IPAPA) juried member show in August. The show was held at the Art on the Main Gallery in downtown Elkhart, Indiana. The award winning painting was selected from 111 plein air entries by 59 artists.
Ron Monsma, the juror for the show, says the piece demonstrates “a confident handling of thick impasto with great tonality, color, and light. The artist holds the space together while at the same time revealing the abstract nature of her vision.”
All the best,
Charlene
Beautiful painting! Mr. Monsma has very good taste!
