My Unbelievable Night!

As I get ready to submit my paintings for the 2014 Colorado Plein Air Arts Fest, hosted by the Golden Triangle Museum District in downtown Denver, I realized I never wrote a post about the FANTASTIC night I had last December at the 2013 show.

Scott Ruthven -  2013 Colorado Plein Air Arts Fest Awards

I entered three paintings and all three won awards!!!  Wow, was I shocked when I walked in and saw the award medallions.

• The painting on the left, "San Pellegrinos & Lime" won 2nd place in the professional artist category
• The middle painting "East on 16th From the D&F Tower" won the "Prudent Man Award of Excellence.
• And the painting on the right, "Aligned and Sublime" won an honorable mention.

54 professional artists had work juried into this show, which makes winning these awards even more special to me.

You can see all the work and full list of award winners here.

Cheers,
Scott
