Bellport Battling Brushes

Yesterday I participated in the "Bellport Battling Brushes Contest" at the Phoenix Gallery in Bellport Village.  Contestants were given 3 hours to complete a painting on site in bellport village.

I chose a spot on the beach and received 3rd prize for my painting of the Bellport Yacht Club.
Here is the finished painting:

Everyone's work was very impressive and it's encouraging to meet other people who enjoy landscape painting.  

1st prize went to Laurence Johnston, who I met for the first time yesterday.  Larry is a great artist and a really nice guy.
