Taste of Lititz Quick Draw

🎨 EMBRACING THE HEAT AND THE HUSTLE 🌞Yesterday I challenged myself to participate in the Taste of Lititz Quick Draw competition, where artists like me had just 2 hours to create new works. Despite the humid 90-degree morning, I dove into my first plein air competition experience, immersing myself in the pre-block party atmosphere of downtown Lititz and channeling my nervousness and excitement of the event onto my paper. From my seat on the sidewalk, the flags that line the street on our iconic lamp posts were reflected in the windows of the historic building I faced, and with the beautiful, newly planted petunias, I was inspired to capture a moment of this summer morning. 🇺🇸 This challenge was new for me as I don't usually work outside my studio or on such a tight timeline, but the satisfaction of seeing the piece come together in time and on display made it all worth it! 🎉 More encouraging and inspiring was witnessing the talent of fellow artists who produced a wide variety of beautiful pieces! 🖼 A heartfelt thank you to the Lititz Art Association for organizing this incredible event and to Venture Lititz for all they do to support our vibrant downtown and arts community.✨
