AIS and Holly Daze

Tea Time

Oil 9x12

I was so excited to have my painting Tea Time accepted into the 

American Impressionists Small Works Show.

I'm always surprised and delighted to be accepted.

Competitions like this seem like a game of chance.

This painting was a playful experiment of color and mark making.

I set up a still life and did a painting.

Then I used the painting I did as a very loose reference for this exercise.

Painting goes much better for me if I can release expectations

and enjoy the process of making marks with color.

The AIS show will be held at

Greenwich House Gallery

Cincinnati, OH

March 23 -April 21. 2018

On another note:

I woke up from my Holly Daze and realized- WOW

I've got to get to work!

I have alot of deadlines and have been painting up a storm.

I've been so busy I haven't had time to share with you as much as I'd like.

Coming up:

RS Hanna Spring Showcase

Hosted by RS Hanna Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX.
