Day 4 - Plein Air Invitational
Thursday morning brought cooler weather and some clouds to the area. By the afternoon, however, the clouds had cleared and we enjoyed another sunny day!
Many of our artists went searching for farm scenes in Stanwood. Rod and Randolph Jones found a beautiful red barn off Pioneer Highway. Tom Mellado scouted Miller road and found a scenic field with views of the Cascades.
Roy Zuniga sent in a photo he’d taken the previous evening when he was painting at English Boom on Camano Island and ran into fellow artist Mehdi Fallahian.
At the end of the day, local business owner Susanna Mantis hosted a gathering for the artists at her business. The mood was light and the artists had a great time meeting each other, sharing stories, and relaxing.
Meet artist Tom Mellado of Everett in the following video … is that accent real? (grin)
“Z’s All Things Good” was the location for the artist gathering at the end of the day. How nice to enjoy a glass of wine or lavender lemonade and visit with the artists.
Artist Ned Mueller is known (according to his inner circle) for his entertaining and humorous style. During this artist gathering we caught a few of his stories and jokes on camera … enjoy!
The Opening Reception for the Show is only a week away. I’m excited to see the results of this incredible week of painting. More tomorrow ….

Hi Gail,
Such marvelous little videos of the Plein Air Invitational. When I heard your voice at first it sounded just a tad like mine and caught me by surprise.
I saw that you were having a Plein Air Painters week and I thought it would’ve been fun to come up there and sign up. As I read your blog I may have misunderstood but it sounded like it would only be artists from around the area. It looks like you had participants that live out of the country.
Would you clarify this for me?
Thanks Gail,
Chris Bolmeier
