Please help us congratulate Daniel Keys for winning Overall First Place in the April 2025 PleinAir Salon, judged by J. Ben Whiteside, owner of The Red Piano Gallery.
1st Place Overall: “Summertime”
“I have been a fan of Daniel Keys’s work since I first saw one of his paintings,” Ben said. “To me, the artist typically presents his florals within their natural environment; usually a detail of flowers in the field as opposed to a vista. I really enjoyed seeing his work in this collection and consider this artist to be one of the best of his generation.”
Keys also took the prize for “Best Artist Under 40” with his still life, “Camellias & Antique Tea Tin.”
