This is the first time our art center held a plein air paint out and auction in Beacon, NY. I created a painting of an interesting house I'd been noticing for some time. While I was taking some photos for lighting reference, the owner of the house came out and we talked. He told me of the structure's history, it's the third oldest house in Beacon, and of his family's connection to the house. All of the information only made me want to paint it more and the result was just what I wanted. He attended the auction and was the winning bidder for the work. I'm glad that he and his wife will enjoy the painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.
