Spring Whimsy, Pastel Over Watercolor, 7x11

I am so pleased to have a collection of small original pastel paintings,

some over watercolor, for sale at the Bainbridge Island Art Museum Store.

Bainbridge is one of my favorite places on the planet to visit, and the 

art museum in particular.  Always the best exhibits, artists' talks, special 

events, unique original art in the handsomely displayed museum store,

and a great little cafe, all housed in a beautifully designed building and 

believe it or not, free parking!

pastel and sidewalk chalk

  

Here I am painting in front of the Full Moon Art Gallery, 3155 Harborview Drive in Gig Harbor. 

"Chalk The Walk" is sponsored by the Gig Harbor Historical Waterfront Assoc.

Four other professional artists and a swarm of budding artists, children and their families, adorned the harbor with their celebration and interpretation of marine art.  It was a great community event.  I loved all the comments from passers-by and all the excitement the event generated.  

A beautiful fun summer day!

10TH ANNUAL DANA GALLERY PAINT OUT & EXHIBITION

"Cottonwood Afternoon"  Pastel  9x12  Pat Meras

Dana Gallery, 246 N Higgins Ave, Missoula MT 59802

www.danagallery.com
I'm very pleased and excited to be represented by this fine gallery in my home state.

"Twenty established artists from around the country come to Missoula, Montana and the surrounding area to paint en plein air, French for "in the open air."  They take on challenges of working in changing elements: heat, shifting light and moving subjects.  Plein air artists follow in the footsteps of the French impressionistsfrom the late 1800's and the American artists from the coast and southwest who followed the railroads west, painting scenes that informed the nation of Western grandeur in the 1900's.   The Dana Gallery is proud to continue the tradition of plein air work through holding this annual event.  The plein air work, as well as studio work from each artist, will hang in the gallery from July 12th-Aug 31st."  Dana Gallery
