It hardly seems a year since last year's juried competition at one of the finest galleries in which I have had a chance to compete. This year's juror is Damon Carter, an awesome landscape and portrait painter. He is currently on the Board of Directors of the Portrait Society of Atlanta and is also a member of the Plein Air Painters of Georgia. He still studies the great masters and his work is really my style. His web site is

Wish me luck with this new piece - it is the first time it has been shown!

OCAF Members Exhibition - Watkinsville, Georgia

Sat, 04 Jun 2011 12:38:51 CDT

As a newly accepted member of the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation, I was honored to be able to display my pen and ink drawing of "What Not Shop" from New Mexico. I hope to exhibit often there as the mostly southern artists there are perfect mentors as I start to navigate my art career more towards the southeast. They have FABULOUS talent there - check out their website at www.ocaf.com for future exhibitions.

The OCAF has been a favorite gallery of mine, located just a short drive from my home in Lilburn, Ga. This is my second reception there

VMRC Art Exhibition

Accepted at the Park Gables Gallery is the pen and ink drawing "Garvine Mill - PA". I am really happy to have this particular piece shown "up north" as it was completed last year during a blizzard in Pennsylvania. My Mom had just passed away and I was stranded at her house for several days during which time I finished the bulk of the drawing. I think of her every time I see this particular work.

I am proud to be included into the VMRC Art Exhibition and will be traveling "back home" for the Reception and Awards on June 5th 2011 from 2-4. Please join me!

The Exhibit can be viewed from May 29th thru June 30th 2011 at"
