From June 6 to 10, between 20 and 30 artists gathered in Dayton and Walla Walla, Washington to paint the farmlands,
hills and valleys, rivers and rock cliffs of the state’s southeast corner.
NPS members were joined by Plein Air Washington and all media were put to good use.
Artist Reception at Wenaha Gallery in Dayton, WA
Old friendships were renewed and new ones made. Wenaha Gallery in Dayton hosted a reception where several plein air paintings were sold. On a rainy day, Roz at Duthie’s Old Winn Dairy invited us in for tea and cookies. Lynne at Spofford Station Vineyard (actually over the border in Oregon) turned over her winery home for our dinner, complete with wine tasting.
A mix of occasional blue skies and stormy skies
The weather challenged us and perseverance paid off. It was remarked that the quality of paintings produced was of the highest quality. Even better are the camaraderie we experienced and memories we share.
Many thanks to Bonnie and Lauri who planned and worked to make this paint-out the very best!
