Plein Air Painting Competition - 2nd place award
Last weekend I was in a plein air painting competion in Round Rock, Texas. The artists painted various scenes around the old downtown area with a number of buildings both old and new. On the main street I painted a building which is now a popular restaurant. It has a combination of brick and stone work. The the early morning sunlight produced some interesting shadows especially in the doorway. The first painting depicts the street with the iconic Round Rock water tower in the background. This painting was awarded the 2nd prize in this competition. I also painted a close-up view of the door and entry way which I think is a stronger painting! Of course I was not the judge.
