Redwing - oil painting

Redwing is 30 x 24, oil on canvas. It shows a mixture of old and newer icons of the American Indian. There is pottery, corn, beads, blanket, kachina as well as a turn of the century piece of sheet music "Redwing".

My favorite bit in this painting is the transparent tape holding the sheet music to the wall

NOAPS

I got two of my paintings accepted into the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society 'Best of America' show. The show travels to 3 different locations in Missouri starting Sept 27 and ending Nov 17.

Born to this Land, 20 x 16, oil on canvas is one of the paintings accepted.  The other is Blue Skies which is one of my favorite striped still lifes

Blocked by AOL

Open letter to friends family and customers:
I recently sent out my newsletters to my customers, friends and business associates as I've done for quite some time. Unfortunately, as an AOL customer, you didn't receive the newsletter. AOL has blocked me from sending emails to their members.

If you have an alternate non-AOL address please send it to me. Otherwise, please stay in touch through my blog. I'm sorry that I will no longer be able to have private communications with you through your AOL accounts. So far I can still receive AOL emails. I am just unable to respond to you

Breckenridge 18th Annual Juried Competition & Show

I got both of my paintings accepted into the Breckenridge 18th Annual Juried Competition & Show. 

The Paintings are I've Just Got to be a Cowgirl and Homestead (pictured on this post)

Richeson People Choice Award

I just got an email from the Richeson 75 art competition. I thought I'd share part of it with you

The recent Richeson 75 International Art competition "Still Life and Floral" has concluded. The internet truly has made the world a smaller place and all of us benefit from the interaction.  AND we're giving those people a voice by letting them vote for a People's Choice award! The voting was brisk for the winner of the Still Life & Floral People's Choice award and we have a first-time situation in that there was a tie for first place! The tie was actually between two paintings by the SAME artist! Congratulations to K. Henderson for "Grapes" and "Red Globes"

Yes! That's me. And I promise I only voted once. A big Thanks to all who voted for my paintings
