Back to the ranch
Watery 40 x 40 inches acrylic on canvas
Whew… what a whirlwind of a couple of weeks. Colony and lots of painting time…then home to develop some kind of chest cold that laid me out for a week. Then down to Houston to the Hunting Art Prize Gala. It was a great experience. The time was far too short for all the artists to really get around to see all the work as you should have. It was nice meeting so many people who love to look and talk about art and to do a little networking with other artists.
This week, it was back to Houston to pick up my painting that was featured at the Prize Gala…………and to meet with a gallery owner to leave the painting and five others in the gallery. I am very pleased to announce my association with the Jack Meier Gallery, 2310 Bissonnet. The gallery is a long time Houston gallery representing many very fine figurative and a few abstract artists. I’m looking forward to getting to know Houston a little better.
This is one of the acrylic paintings I left with the gallery…………. Watery, 40 x 40, acrylic on canvas. Also a good sized (30 x 30) encaustic on wood panel painting titled Pink Sky.
Hunting Art Prize
WOW…just an exciting week-end all around after I got some great news Friday. One of my paintings is a finalist in the 2011 Hunting Art Prize. Although there is a little controversy in the art world about this competition and how they choose the artists (isn’t there always??)…I am proud to be one of the 113 chosen. The winner will be disclosed at the Gala in Houston on April 30.
Here is the first PR I found about who has been chosen. Strange that the first notice I found came from south Mississippi. http://www.sunherald.com/2011/02/22/2882650/113-artists-move-to-final-round.html
The painting I entered is Green Day, Johnson Creek…….60 x 48 inches, acrylic on canvas. It was painted September/October 2010.
