November news

 it's been a busy season with plein air events, juried shows, demos, and more. I just got back from painting at Winterthur for their Wine Trail event, where I painted in the pines to entertain the guests.

I just found out I won Second Place Award in the Society of Watercolor Artists in Texas for my painting "Serious Side Eye."

And last week, I was in the 10th Annual Plein Air Brandywine Valley and I painted 10 paintings which were then on exhibit at Winterthur.

Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine featured my painting "Fishing Buddies" in the December issue in their feature article listing the top paintings juried into the American Artists Professional League Grand National Exhibit on display at the Salmagundi Club in New York City.

It's been such a busy season, I haven't even had a chance to take photos at all the other events that I've been doing these past couple of months! But now I finally get a few days off until my next event, the 4-color plein air competition in New Jersey in December.
