I'm excited to share the news that my painting "Endless Agate Beach" has been selected as the First Place Overall winner of the November PleinAir Salon Art Competition.
PRESS RELEASE:
Maria Josenhans Wins National Art Competition for November 2023
The 13th Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition has announced its monthly winners for the November Competition. Maria Josenhans has been selected as the First Place Overall winner with their painting titled, Endless Agate Beach. The judge for the November Competition was Master Artist, Skip Whitcomb.
"The Josenhans water painting is a beautiful orchestration of natural shapes and color harmonies, Skip said. It is woven together with lost and found edges and values that move the viewer through an exciting journey of the entire surface of her canvas. Its an outstanding example of what Whistler referred to as visual poetry.
Josenhans, along with the other 22 winners, is now entered into the Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition that will be awarded in May 2024 at the Plein Air Convention & Expo. These artists will compete for a $15,000 cash grand prize, and for their painting to be featured on the cover of PleinAir Magazine. All of the November monthly winners will be included in a showcase in the Feb/Mar issue of PleinAir Magazine, the #1 best-selling representational art magazine nationwide.
