Come witness the dynamic painting
competition and take stock in the silent auction that is the “3rd
Annual Ogden Valley Plein Air Competition and Silent Auction!” On
Saturday, August 16th, you are invited to explore one of
the most picturesque valleys in Northern Utah, while interacting with
some of the region’s top plein air painters.

The 3rd Annual Plein Air
Competition and Silent Auction will kick-off with the painters
canvassing the Valley as they paint original pieces from 8:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. As you drive, hike, or bike around the Valley you will see
the artists perched precariously by the side of a gravel road or
under a long branch of a tree as they attempt to capture the light
and landscape in their paintings. Stop and take a look at their
passion and their process: it is amazing to see how they are able to
capture a moment in time on canvas.
At 3:00 p.m. the artists will bring
their framed pieces to Wolf Mountain for display and judging. The
Silent Auction will begin at 4:00 p.m. with the Awards Announcement
at 5:00 p.m. Be one of the first to experience and purchase
paintings at the 3rd Annual Ogden Valley Plein Air
Competition and Silent Auction! Enjoy the company of friends and
conversation with the participating artists as you bid on original
Plein Air masterpieces.
Like the difference between hearing
your favorite bird sing a tune just outside your kitchen window or
just hearing a recording of it, Plein Air art is about life and being
in the moment. There are no two seconds alike in nature, and the
excitement that emerges from capturing a moment in time makes it easy
to understand why artists worldwide have begun painting in the Plein
Air style.
Those who were in attendance at the 2nd
Annual event will long remember Steven Heward, of Sandy, Utah and his
piece titled “Huntsville Pond.” The artwork reflected a myriad
of soft colors and tones with a bold water’s edge. “Color,”
according to David Koch, the 2nd Annual judge, was what
instantly commanded his attention and attracted him to Heward’s
piece, thus garnering Heward the 1st place award.
Kris Wilkerson of Wilkerson Fine Art &
Consulting, sponsor of this 3rd annual event, is motivated

connection and expression through art lifts the human spirit and in
that lifted state a ripple effect occurs. The mission of Wilkerson
Fine Art & Consulting is to provide a forum for local artists to
connect to the community, and to assist the community in living a
rich, well-considered life through original artwork.
