Today I entered 6 pieces into the Ohio State Fair competition . I will find out the results in June.
Last year I was happy to sell my work during the exhibition.
One of the six that I entered. This is titled "Illuminated" and is a 15x30 oil painting
Thistles
Artist: Carolyn Heffelfinger
Medium: Oil:
Size: 20"x24"
Price: $
This painting was done for a competition held by the Ohio Plein Air Society. It was a pretty cool idea. The competition took place over a year with the object being to paint an Ohio prairie. (yes, there are prairies in Ohio) Artists were asked to paint during the year 2014 depicting all seasons and prairies throughout the state. At the end of the year the paintings were judged and those picked were exhibited in The Springfield Museum of Art. The exhibit titled " Painting the Prairies" was to help educate the public about the conservation of these small islands of original prairie grassed in the state.
I had two paintings excepted to hang in the museum "Thistles" being one.
Hay Bales
Artist: Carolyn Heffelfinger
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 5"x7"
Price: $
Hay Bales are so much a part of the landscape in the fields around our home. They add such architectural interest in the design of a painting.
Earlier on this hike it had rained and the going was quite muddy splashing our calves as we trekked but as we entered an open area the clouds were breaking up and we hoped that sun was in the forecast.
Lost Dog
Artist: Carolyn Heffelfinger
Medium: Oil on board
Size: 8"x 10"
Price:
We spent February 2015 in Folly Beach, SC. This year we took our golden along with us. One of the many public places that welcome pets is the Lost Dog cafe. While Dan, Izzy, and his buddy Larry had their lunch on the large porch i stood on the street and painted this favorite local meeting place.
