Good news!!  "Excitation",(below), was accepted for the "Big Show" at the Springfield-Branson National Airport.     Also accepted was my painting, "Early at ArtsFest", 26"x38", $600.     It will be great to have them on display May 22nd thru August 13th.    Hopefully someone will fall in love with them and want to take them home.     In the meantime, some of the family will get to see them there, as they fly in for our family reunion in June.     That will be fun.   Can't wait.

Feb. 21, 2009 "Fall At It's Best" It's cold outside, so decided to get some painting done. This is another painting started last October. It's a view above the small dam, at the trout hatchery. I couldn't resist painting this fisherman. Although one fisherman left and another stood in his place, so I had to revise it a little. There were many fishermen and women coming and going, but that's what you have when you paint plein air. I just get in a "zone"....and look past them, and then hardly notice they are there. Those seriously fishing, hardly notice me too. "Touche" .

"Anna", 18"x 24", Oil  This is Anna, painted from life in Lee Summit, at Tina Garrett's studio.    This was so much fun to do.    A real challenge for me.......but fun.    Since getting it home I've darkened up the background as suggested by Romel de la Torre, but I still kind of like this first version.    I'm looking forward to painting more figures from life this year.
