Wow! I was awarded 2 place Overall in the April Plein Air Magazine contest but I thought this was an online show and it didn't occur to me that I would be in the magazine. So I was surprised when I got a copy of the Sept issue and there was my painting "The Making of a Cowboy" on page 80!
I love unexpected blessings. But aren't all blessings unexpected?
Third painting in my Exhortation series featuring vintage children's alphabet blocks
Eye Candy , 24 x 36, oil on linen
I love the colors in Licorice Allsorts candy
Finalist June 2025 PleinAir Salon Art Competition
SOLD
I ran across this image of a painting I did a while back. I created the painting for a show with a companion piece called Humility. I'll be posting that piece soon.
I love the idea of the rooster wearing peacock feathers. That says it all.
This painting has sold but prints will be available soon.

UPDATE: "Rejoice", was selected as part of the FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) in the June 2025 BoldBrush Painting competition.
Again I say Rejoice! I thought this would be a quick painting but there were other plans for me. I'm happy with the results. This is the first in my new series of small oil paintings using Alphabet blocks. I call this new series "Exhortations"
