Art on the Green, in Coeur d’Alene ID was a lot of fun this year (2025). There was all kinds of arts and crafts along with music and fun activities. I worked at the Plein Air Booth right across from the stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Aug 1st, 2nd, & 3rd). There was something like 30,000 visitors and art was tremendously present.
One of the funnest attractions for me was the amazing sandcastle. Wow! It was ginormous!
There were many more art booths that were filled with enormous talent, like other painters on site.
And let’s not forget the entertaining music with dancing.
My job was to paint plein air and talk to people about doing painting outside. I will not bore you with multiple images at different stages. Here are a few examples from painting at the booth for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I will be looking at these to see if I should do some more finish work on them before calling them done. Anyhjow, it takes me awhile to recuperate from th crowds, heat and standing all day long and I am just now feeling rested so painting should speed up to a more normal pace soon.
