I have been very active connecting with local art groups, this post is about 2024 art happenings and building momentum. I have rejoined Dallas Business Council as SMU is a member. I have gone to one of their shows on painting dogs and the people were wonderful and very helpful.

I have joined Cafe and Biafarin and have started creating images specifically for challenges. Not sure if this is something for a long term idea but it was fun working off immediate inspiration versus a painting that forms over many months or even years.

The first show I won a place in the Gallerium Exhibition Fight Cancer 2024 It is available on Artsy.net.

I competed in the Paint Rowlett Contest again this year. My image called laughing gulls won third place in the black only category and a it was purchased by a local art lover.

I just sold two prints of Beavers Bend- a very old painting but one of my favorites. It is available at
Fine Art America

2024 Art Happenings : Works in progress – I have two recent collections of pastel- my most recent is capturing light and the previous was about multiple subject matter. I have done a lot of pastel on black paper and am in the process of getting heavily back into oil painting. Stay Tuned
