Two takeaways: a ginger cookie recipe I’ll definitely be trying out, and the importance of scouting out a competition well ahead of time. I competed once and grew immensely under the pressure, but realize now how disadvantaged I was, as I was clueless about the area (also two hours away) so more time was spent scouting than painting. Thanks for another inspiring and informative post!
Congratulations on winning an award! I enjoyed reading about your plein air event experience and understand all the hard work that is involved in participating. There was a plein air festival this past week in Cape Ann, MA (Rockport, Gloucester, etc.), and it was so fun to see so many people outside painting.
I grew up in Ipswich and I would love to do Cape Ann Plein Air. Its very competitive to get into though. It must have been great to see all the artists working.
