Kate Withers - 'Painting Space'

 This painting just won a HM award at the 2016 Escalante Canyons Plein-air Competition .. lots of talented artists .. juried into the top 10% .. yay :) 11x14    oil on canvas panel     Sold visit   Gallery 24 - Torrey   .. framed in modern walnut wood .. And here is a pic from when I was working in the field .. amazing what a painting becomes..

Getting ready for a nocturne competition at the Escalante Canyons Art Festival in Utah.. should be a fun challenge.  This piece is from the northern part of Capitol Reef NP .. known for it dark night skies .. fabulous in the moonlight.  8x10       oil on canvas    not finished yet And painted underneath is: Just examples of how paintings evolve and where they stay for awhile .. paintings are never really finished .. they are just versions of an idea.
