We all gathered once again at the American Art Company Gallery in Tacoma for Plein Air Washington Artists Winter Show 2021. I think Covid kept some members from attending but there was still a good turnout for the exhibition and all were in good spirits, glad to be with fellow painters in a gallery setting.
Tammy did a great job once again hanging the show and hosting the event. Thank you Tammy!!
Susan Mcmanamen did a great job with the Zoom technology! Thank you Susan!
PAWA Pres, Janelle Kroner opened the evening and introduced Aimee Erickson our awards juror who gave out the awards and did a great job explaining her choices and critiquing the work. Thank you Aimee for being so generous with your time and encouragement!
