Aline
Lotter is a plein aire painter and has submitted these four images that got her
accepted into the upcoming (Sept 27-29) Blackstone Valley Plein Air Festival.
Aline
has recently retired from her law practice and we hope she has more time to
enjoy painting and blogging. She also does studio painting. Her blog is currently focusing on nudes:

Blog post by Aline Lotter:
"Musicians
at the Farmers Market" was painted on Marco Island, Florida, last
February. We needed shade and the people in charge wouldn't let us use
the communal tent to paint in, because they had some artists who bought space
for tents of their own. We found some tree shade, but it was outside the
venue, all the way behind the musicians. Ok, we made the best of it!
"Apples
Ready to Pick" was painted at Mack's Apples in Londonderry. It was
part of an International Plein Air Painters weekend. The painting has
been very successful, winning spots in juried exhibitions and even an award.
"Strawberry
Field" is the most recent of this group. I painted it last May in
the course of the Bartlett Artists Getaway weekend. That field between me
and Cathedral Ledge is a strawberry field, and lies to the west of North
Conway. It has not been exhibited yet.
The
last is the smallest and perhaps the oldest: "Wentworth by the
Sea" from the rear was painted as part of some organized event, and was
shown for the rest of the summer by the McGowan Gallery in the Wentworth
Coolidge gallery space. I've always thought it one of my best, yet, like
the rest, it remains unsold.
