Shade to Light

   I'm very pleased to announce that I came home from the National Society of Artists 26th Annual Juried Exhibition with an Honorable Mention for my painting 'Your Move'. The show was in Clute, Tx. and sponsored by the Brazosport Art League.
   This is my first NSA exhibition and it was an honor to have had all four of the paintings I submitted accepted the show, let alone win a ribbon.

After two and a half mornings of painting at Dexter Creek off  Hwy 550 just outside of Ouray we have a finished painting.

   I'm in Ouray, Co. for a couple of weeks.  I'm hoping to get in some plein air painting while I'm here.  I will post works in progress soon.

   I'm exploring a different direction. Looser and with more texture. This is the first of a series. I'm using a combination of techniques and layers to achieve more depth and character. This is an image of Isabella from my last painting.
