"Thanks For The Ride"

Loved these two little girls showing appreciation for their horse and buggy ride through the town of Estes Park, Co. This painting is going to the ACA art show at a local gallery for the month of May.

Artist Critique

Yesterday I received an unexpected email from Tony Moffit with Artist.Blog.Critique. Here is a review of his comments in reviewing my work, please check out this interesting site and discover what he has to say about other artist, listed on his left side bar.

Tony's kind words have left me a little speechless, but flattered. Thank you, Tony, this is just the kind of encouragement one needs to continue growing as an artist in hopes of producing even better work.

On another note, a second great "happening" yesterday was receiving the People's Choice second place award in the Associated Creative Artist show with one of my entries, "Mountain Stream". I have been studio-less lately as we have been doing some updating in our kitchen and adjoining studio area, and the only paint I have seen lately is out of a gallon can! But the end of the dust has almost settled and I'm looking forward to setting up shop soon!
