"Orange" Accepted to OPA Show

Oil on Linen



I am very excited to announce that my painting "Orange" was accepted to the 2008 Oil Painters of America 2008 Western Regional Juried Exhibition.

This prestigious OPA show will be held at Devin Galleries in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, beginning Friday, September 12, 2008, through Saturday, October 11, 2008. Collectors and art lovers are invited to attend the opening reception on Friday, September 12, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with the awards presentation at 6:30 p.m. I hope to go the the reception, but time will tell if that is possible.

As you know, I have not created much work so far this year. This is one of only a few that I have finished. Acceptance to this show is a nice little boost as I go to my new work arrangement in August.

By the way, I am working on a new painting now. It is the first one in four months. It is a landscape of sorts. I am feeling a little rusty, but I think it is going well. I will post it when it is finished.
