New Painting and Upcoming Opportunities

Above is a new work, titled April 12th, (9 x 12") done with oil and acrylic. I'm developing a growing interest in using the acrylic paint as a nice way to begin to explore gesture in a piece and then continuing with oil paint. I'm really enjoying the combination and can see this approach becoming a mainstay in my work - the opportunities seem endless.

Also, here are some upcoming opportunities through the West Virginia State Museum. They are hosting 4 separate Juried Exhibits named "Inspired: A West Virginia Series of Juried Exhibitions". If interested, see here for the application: http://www.wvculture.org/museum/images/application.pdf

Upcoming Opportunities

This topic will be ongoing - every so often I will update events for artists to participate in or submit to: exhibits, open calls, juried shows, festivals, etc. Most of them will be for opportunities in West Virginia, but I will try to include other out-of-state events as well. Please feel free to send me an event and I will post it. Here are a couple upcoming juried exhibits:
