James Hempel to be featured artist in Plein Air Magazine!


Exciting news! M. Stephen Doherty was editor of the magazine "American Artist" for 30 years and left a few years ago to revive the defunct "Plein Air Magazine". He was in Fish Creek over the weekend for the Door County Plein Air, and took several photos of James during the 2 hour Dockside quick paint which he posted yesterday on Plein Air magazines Facebook page. His comments praised him for his "adventurous and highly successful" quick draw painting. Today he contacted us to interview him about his work. They just concluded a phone interview and the result is that James is to be the featured artist in Plein Air magazine's August 8th e-newsletter.
I'll send a link to the article once it's published. In the meantime I attached some photos from the event. (Unfortunately I had a smudge in the middle of my camera during the quick paint! Aargh!!)
Hope all are enjoying happy and beautiful summer days. :-))
Love & hugs, 
Karen
