Southern Appalachian Juried Show

I'm happy to have my painting titled "Deerwood's Farm" in the Southern Appalachian Artist Guild's 2010 National Juried Show. The show runs from October 16 - November 12, and is in the Art Center Gallery in the old courthouse in downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia. I saw the show last year and thought there was some really outstanding work represented.

Summer Colors Show

"Summer Colors" opens tonight at The Art Place - Mountain View in Marietta. It is a show of works by myself and Marietta artist, Laura Murphey. It is the first time I will have thirteen paintings on display in one place at one time. Show runs through July 30.

Metro Montage X

This mixed-media piece will be in the Metro Montage X show at the Marietta-Cobb Museum of Art. A bit of experimenting here with oil painting, photography, pastel and colored pencil. Quite a mix.

Eye of the Beholder

I did this painting for no particular reason other than having a little fun with painting on a different surface - a corrugated box top. The apples were painted/drawn on the indentations of tuna cans. Then I saw a juried competition "Eye of the Beholder: The Art of the Found Object," and entered the painting. I was pleased to see it was accepted and also to see that the sponsor, the Maryland Federation of Art, used it on their promotional pieces announcing the show. Another lesson in the fact that art can be done on "anything." And also that art is indeed "in the eye of the beholder."
