Last weekend I participated in a paint out in Winnsboro hosted by Barbara Yongue in  conjunction with Oil Painters of America.  It’s such a treat to have a local event to show off the beauty of the midlands of South Carolina.  Here is a report from Barbara on the events of the day.

OPA 2016 – GREAT AMERICAN PAINT OUT – WINNSBORO, SC

The weather God gave Winnsboro, SC residents a wonderful treat Saturday October 15…. Great weather and great art happened here in conjunction with a plein air event held by local OPA member Barbara Yongue.

Twenty artists from around the state met at her home and were checked in, and after a light breakfast they were sent on their way to produce art for a 2 hour show and reception held at the Winnsboro Woman’s Club that evening.  
Ribbons were presented by the highly esteemed judge Anne Hightower Patterson White who also went on to explain why she awarded each piece a ribbon.  
Rosie Phillips of Charleston,SC won 3rd place
Mark Conrardy of Columbia won 2nd place
Noelle Brault of Columbia won 1st place
Pete Holland of Columbia won Best in Show and People’s Choice
Many members of the Fairfield County, SC community attended the show and several pieces were sold to the admiring public.

Congratulations to all the winners!
