Apparently, the Pastel Journal’s Pastel 100 issue is out, and I’m happy to report that my pastel, Horizon Study (left), received an honorable mention in the contest. The Pastel Journal is an internationally-read magazine dedicated to the pastel medium. Their extremely popular annual contest gives awards to the top 100 pastels submitted. The awards are divided into five top prizes, then split into five different subject categories, within which there are first, second and third place awards, and honorable mentions. My honorable mention is in the Still Life and Floral category. The other categories include landscape, portrait, animal/wildlife, and abtract/non-objective.

The nice thing about this contest is that you can submit any piece done within the past few years—even if it is sold. Which reminds me: Lorraine, if you are reading this, I’ll send you a copy!

I’ve added a new show for 2010: Art on the Square in Belleville, Illinois. This show has been ranked #1 in the country by the Art Fair Sourcebook (the art fair artists’ version of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). It’s going to be a long trip, but I am so excited to do my first-ever midwest show. By the way, I only got juried in with pastels. The competition to get into this tiny but excellent show is tough!

I am so happy right now! I just learned that I have been juried in to the Bellevue Arts Museum show again. This year, not only did I get in with my pastels, I get to show my oil paintings! This is a first for me in Bellevue, one of my very favorite shows to do. To celebrate, I’ve decided it’s time to fire up the Art Fairs 2010 page. Then I think I’d better get some painting done.

Here in the Studio Sale, I’ve made available a collection of unframed works at very reasonable prices. Some are from older series, some may have had their frames damaged, and some may be pieces I did for fun but which don’t fit with my series work. I may even make some new pieces exclusively for the Studio Sale.

All artwork is completely original, in perfect condition, and will arrive matted and ready to frame.

Enjoy!

Yes, in spite of all the shows and demos and moving and whatnot, I have actually been painting. While Etudes for the Equinox has a few weeks left at the Tinman, I have to be thinking of the next show (Metamorphosis at the Kress Gallery). Metamorphosis is an oils-only show for which I have most of the large work finished, but there are a few odd little spaces in the gallery to consider. With that in mind, I created my two latest little cocktails, Gimlet and Limoncello No.2, above. Perhaps I’ll complete the set with a French 75…
