THE FORESTER ARTIST

Creating art on the big canvas and the small ones too

Side By Side

Posted on February 4, 2023 by foresterartist

Here they are side by side. My painting and MaryA Livingston’s painting. May the best painting win! I’d love to hear which painting you like best. No judgement here, I really want to know what you think.

For anyone interested I’m attaching a link for online bidders for the event. All proceeds go to the Environmental Resource Education Fund of the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference. The money supports forestry education programs and scholarships.

The Auction is February 10, 2023, 5pm. The bidding will probably not start until after 6 or 7 pm. There are usually about 50 items in the auction and our paintings typically show up around the middle. Top bidder gets to choose their favorite!

  That’s very diplomatic Gail. I must admit, I really like them both. I’m looking forward to the auction. I can’t even guess how this will go.

I like the seasonal contrast. It would be very hard to choose. (K)

  We were both really pleased with the different color palettes, orientation and different nature of the action taking place. We’re really hoping they’ll strongly speak to different bidders.

I love them both. The yellow colors are beautiful in the one on the right, however, something about the left really catches my eye and I like it best!

  Thank you Phillippi! The high bid ended up taking them both. I guess he couldn’t decide.
