JURIED IN!

I am very happy to have made it into the WESTERN MASTER'S ART SHOW & SALE in Great Falls Montana.


I will be sharing an exhibition room with bronze artist DONNA WILSON of Anchor Bar Bronze. The show runs from March 13 - 16, 2014.

I also participated in the 1st ANNUAL PLEIN AIR CHALLENGE at The Crossing at Ghost River On August 25. It was great to share the day with some well known Canadian artists and make new friends. 


The day started with a hearty breakfast at 7am. After that we all went off to find a spot. It was cold and cloudy. Thankfully the sun came out to brighten things up and warm our hands about an hour before the cut off at 12 pm.

Congrats to friends Marla Blackwell and Cheryl Peddie who won second and third place in the professional artist category respectively. 

A great start to a great event. Good organization, super venue, and substantial prize money - I can only see this event getting bigger and better every year.

KILEY

KILEY 14x11 Oil on Board.

Kiley is the daughter of a friend and a very pleasant young lady. This is from a shoot we did along the Bow River last summer. I look forward to painting her more.

In addition to the paintings that sold at the Stampede and the Hyatt, these 2 were sold through the Blue Rock Gallery on Monday and shipped off to the UK. I also dropped off the third, HEADED NORTH...
This pair of Canada Geese stopped off on our pond to rest for a few days this spring. We live right under a migration route.
