New Painting

Here is one of my very newest paintings, Marion County - February 10th. I'm pretty happy with it, I think it's my favorite of all the 7 x6"s I've done so far. Everyone probably has heard about the snowstorms that have been hitting the east coast, and the north central part of West Virginia has been no exception. This was painted in the 2nd bout of snowfall that we were hit with yesterday.

Also, just a little reminder, if you are in the Beckley, WV area - I am currently in David L. Dickirson Gallery's new show Emerging Artists. This exhibit features all of the new juried members of the gallery. So have a look!

Accepted!

My lucky streak has continued - I have been juried into Tamarack! My first group show will be from January 31st - March 27th, 2010 at the David L. Dickirson Gallery, where I will have about 5 paintings on display. A few days ago I also got my notice of acceptance to Allied Artists of West Virginia, so I will begin exhibiting with this group, too.


I have had a decent but not-so-productive painting weekend, the weather was fantastic - drove up to Cooper's Rock on Saturday where it was the perfect temperature for a day of work. It was unusually warm for April in WV, but the higher elevation in the hills of Bruceton Mills is great when it gets too hot. http://www.coopersrockstateforest.com/ Too bad I didn't have a painting turn out - I will be working more throughout the week and will post my most successful newest soon.

Good News!

Lately, I have come into a streak of good luck! I had a pre-screening session with a representative from Tamarack (a facility that showcases handcrafts, fine art and regional cuisine) and I have been accepted for their current jury session tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get accepted, I would love to have a semi-permanent space for exhibition. Plus, Tamarack gets masses of tourists that come through their galleries - and what artist doesn't like the idea of masses of viewers?


Allied Artists of WV had their jury session for new members on Saturday in Charleston, WV. Derek Overfield and I traveled down and submitted our work - we will know the results in a couple weeks. You can find out about AAWV here - >http://www.alliedartistswv.org/ Also, two awards came my way from two separate competitions I recently entered Images of the Mon and Exhibit 60. Thanks to jurors Barbara Beer and Phil Salvato and congrats to everyone accepted into the shows as well as the other award winners.


April has been good to me!
