My Town
Loveland,
Ohio
Ohio
I am slowly getting more and more
involved in the arts here
"Paint The Town" event was great.
15 artists signed up
to paint scenery around town
There was a luncheon for all of us
and a cocktail party on Friday evening
Sunday we had an outdoor event
right in the middle of town,
to show off our works of art
Awards handed out and a few sales too !

| Painted by artist Jamie Morath I had a hand in designing the shape, cutting, and sanding the wood... preparing the piece for Jamie to paint |

| Loveland businesses and folks painted by my friend Jamie Morath |
One day last week I decided
to set up my easel and paint this scene
 |
| the Town Fountain |
 |
| I love this big ole tree and the umbrella tables in the background |
 |
| My take on the scene fountain, tree, and Paxtons restaurant in the background Palette knife style |

So that is "Paint" the Town"

What a fun event to be involved in and what a charming town. My favorite is the fountain scene with the umbrellas. Very active canvas, texture and colors, etc.

Love the tree and fountain painting. So alive! Belated welcome to PPF wishes!!! Lookign forward to more of your art!
Nice paintings! I especially love the one of the tree, fountain, and restaurant in the background. It looks so monet-ish, or maybe even a little Van gogh-ish. Being an artist myself, I would love to attend an event like that, if there was one here :)

Your town is lovely...you are a talented artist. I'm glad you are painting that you love. I'm from Northwest Ohio. Where exactly is Loveland?
Love the palette knife fountain, I am so impressed by your technique, when I've tried that it just looks like blobs.
