Artist of the Year Competition

Excited that I have an opportunity to compete for the New Braunfels Art League Artist of the Year. Eligibility depended upon winning a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place award in one of the monthly shows of 2017. Participants are required to display 3 paintings as a body of work to be judged for the honor of Artist of the Year.

I created a new series for the competition entitled Scenes from Above. The painting above is one of my 3 entries and was used on the poster. As you can see, it is a different view point!

Hope you can at least drop by to see the show during the month, if you are unable to be there for the award ceremony!

Finally, getting back to the sky series. It has been a long time. I have been continuing to collect photos of skies, but just couldn't get in the mood to paint them.

This sunset is a favorite and might become a larger painting  one of these days.

Have been working on a pet commission for a couple of  days so I decided to take a break and paint another sky. Love working on this series, always subject matter to choose from. The photo reference was of a beautiful sunset from a couple of months ago.

Also, been framing art to display at the Garden Ridge Women's Club Holiday Marketplace on Saturday. Looking forward to meeting many people. If you are in the area, come on by.
