Mount Lebanon Pleir Air Invitational Exhibition part 1

We got gear for us to get started!

The first artists arrive after I made it inside at the opening meeting.

Jamming to jazz!

Getting started in Pittsburgh at the STRIP!

And the sun came out.

And then went away several times during the late afternoon, too late for me to get much in.

A Primanti Bros. roast beef and cheese drowned in french fries and slaw.

Monday morning at South 3rd St.

Second painting in the rain at South 2nd street.

Rain be damned I finished it!

David Csont shows off his pairing demo.

My trip so far on this journey has been awesome!  I've met some new artists and some from Plein Air Easton.  The weather on the first day was gray and over cast.  Only when I was finished did the sun come out.  Monday, proved to be epic and full of brilliant morning light.  I wish had more time to take pics, but I wanted to get a jump on the first painting.  The second painting was just plain challenging.  The clouds came back and brought torrential showers, but I was determined to paint thru it as long as the wind didn't blow too hard.  Luck prevailed and I left feeling good at accomplishing a painting thru heavy rain.
