Well done Tez, I thought your last was the best. $3k is a great prize!!! I must say I thought Penelope's was a skoosh in to win. It looked outstanding. Well done once again. 👍

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Jim, Thanks so much Mate. Yeah I thought that too. And some of those large work's looked really great. Happy painting this week ahead Jim 🎨🎨👍

[@pinklady42]

My favourite painting is the second one. You are an amazing artist. Congratulations on the prize! You truly deserve it 😊,🎨🖌️🎉

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Pinklady, Thanks so much. Yeah me too I thought that was my best one on the day. Gee it was a fun day. Cheers and thanks again 🎨🎨👍

[@tonyday1989]

Congratulations Tez well done. You deserve some kudos for your energy & hard work by including us on your weekend plein air trips.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Tony, Thanks so much Mate and much appreciated. Yeah I never think of it like that but true hey. I only get that one spare day a week as I work 12 hours a day normally so it's great to get blessed with this gift of first prize and the best gift of being able to paint. Happy painting and thanks once again Tony 🎨🎨👍

[@SandraWhite-h7s]

Excellent work I liked the first painting you captured the sky in one but you could tell you weren't happy(missing your pallet knife) your second painting was brilliant. I would have liked to have seen the 3rd painting if you were not rushed because I like your trees with shadow. Well done Tez. Looked like you had a good day.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Hi Sandra, Thanks so much. Yeah the palette knife makes a world of difference hey for my work and like what you said the paintings were all different adjusting to the situation I was in. Yeah the last one could have been better if I had that bit extra time. Happy painting Sandra 🎨🎨👍

[@carolchristiansen4249]

Aw Tez, Me and Colin were watching you last night, and I loved your first painting. I turned to Colin and said Tez has got this. So congratulations to you once again. We are completely made up for you. Can't wait to see you win again next year.......

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Carol and Colin,Thank you both so much and Much appreciated. Yeah what a challenge it was trying to achieve that in one day but gee it was really fun. Yeah hopefully next year I can do well with a great painting as well hey. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@geminij2775]

🥳 wow congratulations Terry so good you deserved it. The first was my favourite simple but beautiful judges got it right 👌

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Jasmine, Thanks so much and much appreciated. Yeah what a day it was. I liked the second one better but the judges liked the first the most. Cheers 🎨🎨👍

[@ericmaletsky8534]

Congrats for another successful year in this event. It is funny as when you finished the first painting and were not thrilled with it , I’m thinking wow , he captured the beautiful mood and with great brush energy. I liked all 3 but number 1 appealed to me the most . Keep up the good work!!👏👏

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Eric, Thanks so much Mate. Yeah I actually thought that you know Eric but when I got to the club for judging I thought the first painting had beautiful mood and the tones where good. Thanks Mate 🎨🎨👍

[@brandonmagnus4414]

Congratulations! I thought all your paintings were great, it’s always hard to know what judges are looking for

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Brandon, Thanks Mate and much appreciated. Yeah that's right and I think it's what they like coz a couple of times I've looked deeper into some winner's in prizes and checked out the judges and that style is the judges cup of tea. I got the right judges for my style maybe. Cheers Mate🎨🎨👍

[@michaelcody3829]

Good onya Tez, great paintings and I love the way you give other artists credit for their work, your a great bloke mate.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Michael, Thanks so much Mate. Yeah we can never stop learning from others hey. Even like someone that's been painting a couple of years and myself twenty years they could have a technique new to me. There's no boundaries that we can learn from others hey. Cheers Michael much appreciated 🎨🎨👍

[@KayInMaine]

[@momopaints]

Oh my gosh Tez!!!!! Congratulations!!!! That’s amazing! Great job!!!!! Also- I think you’re great isn’t the brush just as well as the pallet knife. You capture the atmosphere and the mood in all 3 paintings well. I’m always amazed at how patient you are using the pallet knife…that’s something I just hate using! But you capture amazing textures with it. Oh I’m just so happy for you. That’s just amazing!!!

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mel, Thanks so much and much appreciated. Yeah what a day it was and I thought I stuffed it up with at the last painting as it was rushed. There was some really good artists so I knew it was going to be hard. I thought the middle painting was the best. Cheers Mel, Happy painting 🎨🎨👍

[@momopaints]

​​⁠it’s funny because as I watched, I though the first one was the best 😆 I loved how moody and mysterious it was. I felt like you really captured that stormy morning so well

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

Yeah I like the first one too but thought it wasn't the best but the judges thought otherwise. Thx a bunch Mel 🎨🫶

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mark, Thanks so much Mate. Yeah I thought that too. Cheers Mark 🎨🎨👍

[@markl240]

@@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower I should also add your film inspired me to get out and paint today. I was having a far too lazy Sunday when your you tube film landed. So I packed my stuff and went out on hamstead heath in London today and had a lot of fun using a pallet knife. Thanks for posting.

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Mark, That's awesome Mate I'm so glad you went out. Painting in England is on my bucket list. I want to paint in London like yourself and out to Constable Country around Flatford. Happy painting Mark this week ahead also 🎨🎨👍

[@NancyTipton-u8e]

Oh wow! You did it! Congratulations! Isn’t it interesting what judges like most…maybe the moodiness was what made your first one so unique. You did three really good paintings…and you won a first place and some bucks! A great day for you…and I enjoyed watching all of it! Thank you for sharing it with all of us!👍😊👏🏻

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

G'day Nancy, Yeah we did it. I was going for it with at the back of my mind all of the lovely people that follow me here on KZbin. I couldn't believe it to be honest that it happened that way. Yeah the first painting had a real mood to it and I thought the Second painting had good tones as well. Yeah it was a great event and let's see how I go next year hey. Thank you so much Nancy and Happy painting this week ahead 🎨🎨👍

[@stevewinter331]
