Hello!

This is a small commercial break in your life to let you know I still exist–I’m sure this will make your day! 😉

Actually, if you are not friends with me on Facebook, you may not know that I’ve put my career in art as I’ve known it on hold for a while–thus, no posts.

Three Egretful Poses–finalists in The Artist Magazine 33rd Annual Art Competition–Animal/Wildlife category (Available through me)

I am gearing up to get back into the studio soon, it helps to have a show coming up in October.  As exciting as that is, I especially wanted to share with my friends that yet again, I’ve been honored to be chosen as a finalist in The Artist Magazine’s annual competition.  In fact–three out of three paintings were finalists!  Out of over 5,900 entries, I am feeling very blessed.

You’ve seen them all on this blog, but here they are again–the plein air painting that is featured is just a bonus for you.  That was from the plein air event in Cannon Beach back in June.

Until next time–now back to your regularly schedule program.  Stay cool!
