Wisteria

Have to pause from painting for a moment to enjoy
the wisteria on my deck.  I have the pleasure of 
viewing and smelling this awesome plant each
year that the frost doesn't get it.  Which is about 1
out of every 3 years.  Can YOU smell it?

Show Results

The artist reception for The Woman's Club was last night, and even though
I did not win anything this year, it was an honor to be among about
160 artists that were in the show.  There were definitely some fabulous
paintings to view in the show.

On another note, I was at my second artist reception tonight at Gallery 104
in LaGrange, Ky and I won Honorable Mention!  This was quite an honor
considering that Jamie Corum was the judge.  I have always admired her
art.  So imagine my excitement when she picked my painting for an award.
Thank you Jamie.  I also have to thank Mike Parks for the great subject
that he allowed me to paint.  It was nice to meet you, your wife and friends.

Picture of the second event to come.

Storm is Brewing


This was a painting I did in Westport, Ky on the river.
Even though I am new to the scene when it comes to
plein air painting, I believe someday I will learn how
to be loose in my paintings.  This one is the closest I
have come to achieving that.

Daniel Boone Statue

I am about to enter this painting in the
Woman's Club of Louisville, I hope.
I have to borrow it back from my sister!
Daniel Boone has always been one of my favorite 
people, and I love looking at this statue everytime
I pass it in Cherokee Park in Louisville.
Please feel free to comment about the paintings on
my blog.  Thanks
