Cape Ann Plein Air Quick Draw — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

This week the annual Cape Ann Plein Air Festival is in full swing. The weather so far has been challenging – cold and windy. The opening event on Sunday was the Quick Draw, held at Essex County Greenbelt’s Allyn Cox Reservation. Competitors had two hours to complete their paintings, followed by a half hour to frame and submit them for judging and for sale.

Headquarters for judging at the Cox Reservation, Essex
No restrictions on creativity, as the sign notes
The Great Marsh took center stage
Well along at 1-1/2 hours
Coffee to warm the hands
Small was a good approach to the windy conditions
This artist’s easel blew over – now in restoration mode
Low to the ground also worked well
The perfect compact outdoor kit
Framing before the judging
