The last part of May and the first week of June of this year was the 9th Annual Paint Historic Waxahachie (Texas). I believe I have painted in all but 2 of the annual events, and I always enjoy the challenge. Waxahachie is a beautiful town packed full of history and old architecture. I love both. I believe almost 50 artist painted at various time during the span of the event, producing many beautiful paintings that were for sale the last few days of the paint out.
12 x 9 oil on panel of the Historic Rogers Hotel in Waxahachie, Texas. This Plein Air work won Honorable Mention in the 2014 Paint Historic Waxahachie Juried competition.
The artwork is also judged in a competition, with prizes and cash dispersed to winning artist. This year I was bless to win an honorable mention for my 9 x 12 oil on panel called “The Rogers”. It shows the old historic Rogers Hotel. The Rogers has been featured in several movies in years past, including “Places in the Heart”, staring Sally Fields and Danny Glover.
Below are the results of the several days of painting.
