Another Ribbon

The awards presentation was held tonight for the 2016 Exhibition of Fine Art at the San Diego County Fair. I had a great time again and I won another ribbon again this year. I received an Honorable Mention in Acrylic - Rep., Animals, Titled Bird Napping. I would like to thank everyone involved with the Exhibition for helping me to even be in the fair this year. It seems I can't figure out how to upload a picture. Hope you all get a chance to go and see my painting along with all the other great art that is their.

Painting For The Fair

Been a wile since I have posted anything here. My time has been consumed with getting a website up for my art and I have neglected my painting and this blog. The website is almost done so it was long past time to get back in the studio. As I have mentioned before, working a full time job does not leave me much time to work on my art. Which is frustrating at times but If I keep doing a little each day I will get their. I finally decided what I am going to do for the San Diego County Fair this year. It is a little late to be getting started but it is a small piece so I am confident I will have it done in time. The submission deadline is about a month and a half away. So I need to get er done! I have two other paintings that I am working on also right now. One I had finished a couple of years ago, but it acquired some cracks and I have been trying to fix it. The other one I had started last year and felt it was time to get back to completing it. There is another piece that I was thinking of throwing on the painting mill also. The problem is trying to figure out were to set all these paintings wile I do work on them. I have limited space. Hay there is a corner of the bed I could use, lol! So stay tuned, I have more beautiful art coming and some exciting news to.

Soli Deo Gloria

Painting for the fair. More details coming soon.

2014 Exhibition of Fine Art, San Diego Co Fair, Awards Ceremony

Went to the Awards Ceremony tonight for the 2014 Exhibition of Fine Art at the San Diego County Fair and one of the paintings I entered won an Honorable Mention in Acrylic - Rep., Animals!!! I was hoping that the other painting might have won something to but it did not. I have to admit that I am a little disappointed. One show is not going to make or break me. Need to get over it and get back to work!
