The last Paint the Peninsula competitor that I met on Tuesday was Susan Ogilvie, the winner of the inaugural competition in 2013. Susan is from Port Ludlow, about an hour’s drive from Sequim, and has visited the Dungeness Recreation Area often. She teaches art workshops in the U.S., Canada, and Italy. When I met Susan she was working on her second piece of the day, a pastel.
Here’s the unfinished pastel and the view. Susan had just begun adding color to her work.
Susan showed me this oil painting that she had finished earlier in the day. Artists in the competition framed their finished work. Work completed in the competition is for sale. In previous years painting ranged from $325 to $2,400.
Here’s the camera view.
Over the last five days I’ve provided links to each artist’s website and been impressed with the high calibre of artistic quality and expression. If you’ve got time, scroll around and have a look.
Susan looks very much like a friend of ours from Miami. She does great work. My mother was a painter, also. She did excellent work, too. In fact I’ve got a huge landscape of hers hanging just above my desk. I don’t think I’d have the patience for it. Thus, the camera. Snap, and you’ve got the shot! 🙂
Well traveled and very talented, Kay!
Great work.
From what you have shown us, it would not be easy to select a winner.
