The Holiday Season in now upon us...

The Holiday Season in now upon us.....And with it comes all the hectics chaos!  But I am happy to say that it's all good craziness in my world!  Not that I have any of my holiday shopping done... but I have gotten some great news this week!

I am honored to have received 1st prize for guest artist in the Fall 2010 online Exhibition at the Perez Fine Art Galleries for my painting titled, 'Gettin' Steamed'.

And also this week, I found out that my entry into the Susan Kathleen Black foundation Art of The Blossom II has been accepted!  This show will start at the Naples Museum of Art and travel to several museums throughout the spring and summer.  I feel so honored to have my painting, 'Change of Season', accepted!  

And last, but not least, I have been painting several pieces for the small works show at the Brandt-Roberts Gallery in Columbus, OH this December.  I promise to post some later this week!



Two new paintings! Gettin' Steamed and Meeting of the Minds

I've been keeping very busy here.. getting back on track after the big move! I think I have figured out where most things go in the studio and am trying to get organized.. (as organized as I can be... my skills leave a bit to be desired) Just today I received my new shipment of art panels and I will be painting again through the weekend!
I am posting two larger scale paintings of the mason jars.. (I have to sneak one in here and there between the smaller still life paintings for the show in Oct.) These paintings are very different from one another but I like them both. Gettin' Steamed is really bold and strong and Meeting of the Minds is very soft and quiet.. I really want to keep Meeting of the Minds for above the bed but I paint to tell a story and I already know it so I will share it with others.
Have a great weekend!
