I had a great time at the Big Cedar Lodge Paint Out, just South of Branson in October, even though there were a few cool, rainy mornings. I uploaded a couple videos of my painting at Dogwood Canyon, onto You Tube. The painting needs a little more touch up before I'll call it finished, but just haven't had the energy to get to it. Sometimes I wonder why I'm doing this,.......But as soon as I pick up a brush I get back into my zone, and it all comes back. Here's a preview of the painting.
I'll be in a new show starting next Friday, Sept. 7th, 2012. "Caught My Eye", 1st Member's Invitational, located at The Creamery, Springfield, MO, Regional Arts Council. Come on out if you're in the area. Public reception and Friday's Art Walk, 6pm thru 9pm. I'll have 4 to 5 paintings in the show. This is one: "Country Sunset", 24"x 36".
I received good news. Two of my paintings were accepted to the "Big Show", at the Skyport Gallery, located in the Springfield-Branson National Airport, Springfield, Missouri. "Excitation", and "Early at ArtsFest". They will be on display until August 13th, so hopefully someone will fall in love with them and want to take them home. Family will be flying into the airport for our family reunion in June, so that will be fun.
The new videos with Animoto are fun. Everyone should try it. Tomorrow is suppose to be a nice day, so will leave early for Springfield, to do some plein air painting with Cheryl, an art friend. I won't hear about the Springfield Airport show until the middle of next week. Keeping my fingers crossed that a few of my larger paintings get accepted. Here's the largest one which is 5 foot long.
Bob and I just returned from a trip to San Antonio and Fredericksburg, Texas. It was a little cool and wet, but I managed to get some good photos. I really enjoyed the art galleries in Fredericksburg. They are so inspiring. And good to hear that the art market was still alive in Texas. This photo is from a famous little Texas town, Luckenbach.
Happy to say this painting found a new home for Christmas with Carol and Jim Booth. I hope it is enjoyed for many years to come. The holidays were great, and the weather here in Missouri has been good so far this Winter. I did a few commissions for Christmas and they seemed to really like them, so that felt good. Now for the New Year.......Hoping and praying for health and happiness for all the family and friends.
I'm excited to be accepted today into the Xanadu Gallery, Scottsdale, Arizona. I hope this is a start of good things. Check out their website at XanaduGallery.com It's a wonderful Gallery on the main street in Scottsdale.
