Cape Ann Plein Air – Quick Draw — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

I enjoy attending the Quick Draw event of the annual Cape Ann Plein Air Week because all the artists are in a concentrated area for the same two hours of painting.

This year’s Quick Draw took place in Manchester-by-the-Sea.
Strong wind gusts were a hazard – she’s hunkered down holding her small tripod.
It looks deceptively calm on the inner harbor, but numerous easels blew over.
It was quieter where Karen Fitzgerald was painting the Manchester Historical Museum.
Painting at the intersection of Central, School and Union Streets.
The two-hour time limit was up, so I took a walk around downtown during the judging.
Additional guest artists, invited just for the Quick Draw, were judged outside.
The 35 artists registered for the week-long competition set up inside.
Tim Kelly took first place among those fully registered.
Judge Lori Putnam promised a hug for all winners, here delivering with Tim.
Time for the public to buy paintings, and for the spider (right) to go home.
