The Fine Art of Susan Gallacher

I was one of the instructors at Plein Air Utah where I did both inside and outside painting demonstrations for the students. This was a great event with demos, lectures and lots of painting. 
  The Plein Air Painters of Utah, which I am one of, and the Midway Art Association partnered to put this event on. 

             Painting on the last day of PAU at the art sale.
        I painted this one from a photo since we were inside.

I was very pleased to receive 2nd place in this competition that included so many fine artists and paintings.  Lots of fun being with my artist friends and having them stay in my home for the competition.  Thanks to Spring City Arts.

The Dixon Country Event is a wonderful few days of talks, presentations, symposiums and painting demonstrations by invited artists. I was part of a symposium this year and gave a talk. 
The hosts, Paul and Susan Bingham who created the Thunderbird Foundation at Maynard Dixon's Home, are superb at all they have done and continue to do for artists and fine art collectors.

This is a great group of artists that I was very happy to be able to do a painting demonstration and talk for. I was pleased with the quality of questions asked and the interest in all I said.
Thanks for the invitation to be with you that evening.

The Midway Art Association put on a wonderful Plein Air Event that is full of several days of plein air painting. This painting is just one of ten paintings I did. I put this on because it shows the unique Scandinavian Heritage of the Midway, Utah area.

"Picket Fence" Quick Draw 8 x 10 oil

         One of my days out painting, I had lots of company.
​   One cow even got out of the fenced area to get a closer look.

 Photos of me painting for Chris and Alison's guests in June at their beautiful home.  Fun for all.

Chris and Alison Anderson asked me to paint in their garden during a family party for their guests to watch. Their garden is beautiful everywhere you look.  It is always fun to be part of a party and doing what I love - painting. This is the painting I did.
​Thanks to Andersons.
