Forever home for two paintings.

Ove the Labor Day weekend, I had two paintings that went together to their forever home, in Flagstaff, AZ, and their new owner sent me pics!

“Sea Crest Dawn XXVII”

“Another Joy”

Please vote for me….

….it’s not political. It’s a contest. For artwork to be displayed on billboards around the country. The contest is being run by FineArtAmerica.com, and I’ve submitted three images:

One with the Sky with its poem

One Side

Equinox Full Moon

and you can vote for them, if you choose! Each painting needs 100 votes in order to proceed to the next round, so please vote for your favorite. Thank you!

Another award.

Wow, these acceptances just keep coming! This time I have a Merit Award for the Artists’ Choice exhibition at Art Room Gallery Online for Vermillion Delight. Click the name of the painting there to see things about it on my website that Art Room Gallery don’t show, namely the poem.

Skies Exhibition Acceptance.

I was delighted to have both my submissions accepted into the 5th Annual Skies Art Exhibition with Fusion Art. Of course being a favorite subject of mine, I had to spend a lot of time looking at the other entries! Have a look yourself, there are some stunning paintings and photography in there.

Award

And just so you know these paintings don’t always just go to art fairs and in galleries, I love the opportunity to show online also! I don’t have to consider the distance I have to transport or mail it, or the take-in/out schedule. I entered a couple paintings in the Art Room Gallery ‘Shades of Gray’ show, and not only had one accepted, but won a merit award.

Here’s the winner. Sea Dragon.

Newer work #122

I’ve been posting on Instagram, and sadly neglecting WordPress. Still haven’t found a way to get this to flow into Instagram, once I do, all will be well!

#1463, Storm with Seven Palms. Oil on gallery wrap canvas. 18×24″.

The Fear of the Blank Canvas

This was a new feeling for me. Find out about it in this month’s newsletter.

Twentynine Palms Shows

I should have done this last week, but sometimes things don’t get on a list…. anyway, these shows are still up for a few weeks left, so if you’re in the area, there’s still time to enjoy them.

The 29Palms Art Gallery has the Guild Summer show in the Main and Center Galleries, and in the West Gallery, Tim Warren and Ted Wright in a 2-person show.

Main Gallery – Guild Members.

New York and Italy

I was recently invited to join Alessandro Berni gallery for representation in their online gallery. In the last few days we dotted the is and crossed the ts and this morning I was one of the new artists introduced in their mailing.

Newer Work #121

#1460 “Another year’s morning”. Oil on wraparound canvas, 20×24″.$300. Currently at the Summer show at Borrego Art Institute.

I’ve been rather remiss about posting newer works. This one is not-newer enough to have been hanging in the BAI before I got to posting it. I’ve been posting more on Instagram (#skyscapesforthesoul), but would like to post more consistently across platforms. If anyone has a great recommendation for a tool to allow you to do this, I’m all ears. I’ve heard of ‘hootsuite’, but would rather have a one-time purchase than a monthly subscription that they’re asking for.
