DDA winner in Lavonia, Ga

This is my cold wax and oil piece, "seasons," which won 2nd place in the mixed media category.  Very proud of that, especially in our small town where abstract work is in the minority.  I've had a professional photographer at Rich Beginnings take some great shots of my work and I'll be posting them on my website soon.  We will be at The Reserve in Seneca, SC next weekend, April 30th and May 1st, with great demonstrations of encaustic and cold wax and oil.  Do come up if you can.......

Lavonia, Ga Downtown Development Association Art Show

I am pleased and happy to announce that I won second place in mixed media for my cold wax and oil piece, "Seasons."  I was told the juror loved it.  I'll post another pic of this piece in its final form later.  But the piece you see here is pretty much it.  I had bolted another panel on to the top and done that in pan pastel and encaustic.......Thank you Lula Lowery, DDA, and Terri Benefield from Hartwell.  It's been a tough week and this was a big boost for me. 

Diane Geiger of Hang It Up in Hartwell reported that the Anderson show is awesome.  I will be checking it out.

Places to see my art the months of April and May

April and May are shaping up to be busy months.  The opening reception at The Reserve at Lake Keowee was Monday night.  Diane Geiger, Henley, Cleary, and I have our work hung and ready for viewing until mid-May.  April 30th and May 1st we will be there in the flesh to demonstrate some of our techniques during the POP tour.  Diane from Hang It Up Gallery was juried into the Anderson Art Center show and I was juried into Gallery 313 for the same time period.  Thrilled and pleased about that.  The opening reception will be Friday night, April 8th.  Also the same night will be the Lavonia Downtown Development art show at The Cultural Center.  Diane and I are in that show, too.  Diane and Kathy will be in Anderson that night and I'll be in Lavonia, so come by if you get a chance.  Both shows start at 7:00.  Next week Diane, Henley, and I will be at the Duke World of Energy in Seneca, SC with a reception Thursday night, April 14th fro 5:30 to 7:00.  Again, we three are "artists in residence" representing The Reserve at Lake Keowee.  This is one throw-down beautiful place, so come on up.  Easy drive. 

Diane and I will be working on a "wood quilt" for the Lavonia Downtown Development Quilt Trail.  This will be starting May 7th at the spring festival in Lavonia.  After that, I'll keep y'all posted.  I need a nap now!!!!!!
