Weekend Update

Today I was supposed to post a wonderful little challenge painting with my art buddies Pablo Villicana Lara and Chris Beck. BUT, because I underestimated how many layers I'd need to paint to get my challenge done to my exacting standards (read: anal-retentive), it is still drying. Gonna try to post it tomorrow. (hangs head in shame) I've seen Pablo's and Chris' and they are outstanding. I'm so impressed with their talent.

In the meantime, I thought I'd let you know about my week. I finally got word to reveal that Mason Murer Fine Art has asked to represent my work beyond the current Realism Group Show going on now. I am finishing and sending more paintings their way in the coming weeks, and I'm thrilled to death to have an excuse to do so. Look forward to seeing more of the Color Therapy series in the very near future!

'Late Night' - 12" x 4" - oil on canvas

And, saving the best for last, I just got word that my painting 'Late Night' has received Best In Show at the Richeson 75 Still Life, Floral & Abstract juried exhibition. I'm speechless. I had no idea it would even place. Truly flattered, humbled and grateful. I honestly don't know what to say but THANK YOU.
