~ Jane Hunt ~
"Plein air painting asks a lot of you, not just creatively but physically. The year I won Best of Show at Laguna Plein Air was an especially demanding week. I had tweaked my neck early on and was painting through physical strain, while immersed in the pace and energy of the event. On the final evening, called a close friend back in Colorado. She reminded me to set aside outcomes
and paint one piece from a deeper, more intuitive place. Shortly after, I saw an extraordinary sunset, pulled over, and painted it quickly on a small panel. With no plan beyond responding to the moment, the painting flowed. Winning Best of Show with that piece was a tremendous honor. It reaffirmed for me the value of painting from that deeper place, and trusting it when it appears." Jane Hunt is known for her serene tonal landscapes which offer viewers a gentle place to rest. Her work is consistently ranked among the most awarded contemporary artists in the United States.
