Got a 3rd prize for my acrylic artwork ” La Vie en Rose” at Fleurs en Seine, 1st category. I won a nice new outdoor easel, always very handy for plein air experiences! The painting is available for sale, inquiries are welcome.

And I won the 1st prize at the finale of “Peintures des Villes, Couleurs des Champs”, a regional plein air painting contest, after months of competition. “Au Bord du Rû” seems to have had success with the jury!
Also available for sale here.

Not so bad, I dare say ;)
… since I’ve written something in this blog!
Guess I’ve been too busy… or maybe just too lazy ![]()
Jeezzzz, I need to get a hold on things!!!
First of all, I’d like to thank all the visitors who came and left kind comments on my blog for my first participation in the OWOH event! It was really fun, I discovered wonders and met wonderful people, I just wish I had more time to visit all the blogs, but with more than 900 wagons in the caravan it was hard to see everyone and everything! And thank you, Lisa, I can hardly wait for OWOH 2010!
Now to serious business… ;) I had 191 comments ranging in my system from 105 to 307 (with a few holes where I had to remove spam). I used the random integer generator and finally draw… 2 winners, yes 2! With almost 200 comments I thought that 2 prizes would only be fair!
OK, ok, I won’t keep up the suspense ![]()
Sooooo, winner #1 is post #227 Lisa from http://laughingorcaranch.blogspot.com

And winner #2 is post #292 Liv from http://livluvsscraps.blogspot.com/

Congratulations, you both won a custom ACEO card! I will contact you immediately, via mail and/or your blogs, and I will start painting as soon as I get your choice of subject! If I have no answer by Monday evening, I’ll draw other winners!
I’ll post the picture of the cards when they are finished. Well, I think that’s all for this year OWOH! Thanks again to each and everyone of you who took the time to leave a comment, I hope to see you around soon!
I discovered this worldwide blogging event only a day ago, almost too late as usual
It is hosted by Lisa at A Whimsical Bohemian and from Jan. 19 through Feb. 11, bloggers and others from all over the world can visit and meet with each other, share stories and comments, make connections… Each participant gives something away on their blog, usually something arty and hand made. All you have to do is post a comment to be entered in the draw!
My giveaway will be an ACEO card (3.5″ x2.5″) made in acrylic. Where is the picture you may ask? Coming soon I may answer! Why? Simply because the winner will choose the subject! Yes, you heard me, I will give away a commission card, so you can have you dog, house, or whatever subject you’d like painted! And if you have no theme or idea, then I’ll surprise you! How does that sound? Good? Then just leave a comment here, and do not forget to leave me a valid email address where I’ll be able to contact you in case you are the lucky winner!
And while you are here, I invite you to browse through my website. Su casa es mi casa, make yourself confortable and enjoy the journey!
Good Luck and thank you for visiting. I hope you come back to visit soon !
Yeah, I know, I’m a bit late, and although I had it posted on the home page, I had had no time yet to post it here. So here it is:
I wish you a New Year filled with big dreams, extreme joy and great success. May 2009 bring the best of everything to you all… and much much more!
This time it was at “Longpon-sur-Orge” near Paris, I won the second price in the category “Cezanne” (for advanced painters) with “Basilique Verte”, 18″ x 13″ acrylic on gallery-wrappd canvas. Once again we had only a few hours to complete the painting. I chose to paint the Notre-Dame de Bonne Garde basilica bathed in the beautiful light of an Autumn afternoon. Finding the good spot was tricky and I ended up with my feet all wet from the surroundings swamps! Ha well, the joy of plein air
I won the 2nd price of 2nd category of the pleinair speed painting contest “Fleurs en Seine” (”Flowers around the Seine river”) at Les Mureaux (on the Seine riverbanks near Paris). This year’s theme was the Seine river and the trees, and I can say that I’m quite proud of me because I made this huge acrylique painting (26″ x 18″) in less than 6 hours, and believe me, it was a real challenge for me as I’m used to small formats… I had to paint “loose” because I would never had finished it if I had tried to paint all the little details I usually add with my 4/0 brushes!
I won a big wallet full of Sennelier finest arists’ oils and accessories! I will have no excuses now if I don’t start on oils!

Bonne nouvelle pour les francophones, le blog sera bientôt disponible en français!
Great news for the French-speaking readers, the blog will soon be available in French!
