Something Different

This is big and a break from oil painting. I have a series of sketches of the rocks and roosters at the American Falls which inspired these designs. Not sure if it's about color combinations or design or Niagara Falls. It's on WC paper and kept me motivated and busy for several weeks in my NACC studio.

Merit Award

My little "Hoyt Lake" oil was awarded a Merit Award at the Buffalo Niagara Art Association exhibit in Artists Group Gallery in Buffalo. I loved the impasto in this painting and don't know why I do not use it more often. Apparently the judge liked it too. This is at Delaware Park Lake.

Love painting here every year. So windy and black clouds that the field was closed by noon.

Prize!

I entered this in a Buffalo Niagara Art Association exhibition at the Buffalo Erie Botanical Gardens. Quite pleased to be awarded, but then it sold to be brought to Ireland as a gift. I am honored but I don't know who purchased it. Selling from a gallery is different than a face to face purchase in my studio or when I am at a show.
