The Fine Art of Susan Gallacher

I look forward every year to participating in Midway's Plein Air Competition and visiting with the wonderful volunteers who work so hard to host this event. Also spending time with my painting buddies and staying at my sweet Salt Lake neighbor's beautiful Midway home, Lisa and John Goodman, and spending time with them. 
This painting "Morning Light" I painted two blocks from Lisa and John's Midway home. Thanks so much to all.

  This is an exhibit and sale of a winter plein air painting competition. I could paint anywhere in Utah so I painted from Salt Lake down to Spring City and this is two of five paintings I did for this show.  
  Most artists won't paint out in the snow but the scenes are worth the effort.

I was honored to be invited as part of the Zion's Bank Annual Art Show once again. The bank does a fabulous job with great artwork, food, live music and beautiful flower arrangements.  The evening is a treat for artists and their many guests. 
This painting that Zion's Bank purchased,  is one I did in the North Fields of Midway Utah, looking east,  on a beautiful September morning this year.

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.
