I think this is the best painting I did during the Plein Air Easton. I submitted it as one of my two competitions pieces. I thought it may won something, but it didn't. However, it was sold within minutes after the show opened. I deliberately kept the painting very abstract. Only one boat in the center is barely identifiable. It looks it is the way to go.
What a shame that so prestigious a competition could not have found a better judge to weigh the works of some of the best plein air artists in the country. His picks were laughably bad. Sorry your efforts were wasted, but the fact that people snapped up your paintings shows their true worth.
