You know this is the painting I did at Cedarburg's Riversedge Competition from the Bird View house. It was a drizzly day that ended in a haze with a steely blue sky.

In doing this scene I had this idea of a dark pathway enveloped by walls and shrubbery leading into light. I did this in preparation for the Paint the Festival submission at the Cedarburg Plein Air Event. It was a great place to paint in the shade with a gentle cooling breeze, away from the hustle and bustle.

Bidding War on Judith Reidy Paintings

I often sell paintings...but I never had a bidding war like the one yesterday over my paintings. It is great feeling to know that somebody likes your painting that much! I must admit I was particularly pleased with the way I was able to create repeated pieces of quality this week. I am confident they saw that and wanted part of it for themselves.

I was sad however, that one patron from the Beloit Plein Air (who previously had a piece in Beloit they wanted of mine sold out right from under them) came up to Cedarburg and in the end rush of the bidding war for two of my pieces in a silent auction, failed to take home from Cedarburg either of the two they wanted. However, one patron who won the bidding whom I met this week, is an accomplished artist. I was delighted that she enjoyed the piece too. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to meet the other patron who won the bid on another piece. As an artist I was amazed and delighted by the enthusiasm of the bidders. I was glad that I did not have to manage the bidding and resolve the controversy over who was the winner. That would not have been an easy job for me.

In the end I sold all four of these paintings yesterday. I am happy that the patrons connected with my work and wanted to make it part of their life permanently to enjoy.

It was a rainy day at the Riveredge Nature Center out side of Newburg, WI where the Cederburg Plein Air Event began its days of painting, quick paints and sundry other activities. See this link for more details.
I painted two paintings this rainy Wednesday. One from a bird stand the other, this one, from the porch at the rear of the center. It is really an impression of the day.
