I love Fall

I love Fall. The earthy colors, the cool crisp air, the amber and orange leaves, the smell of nutmeg, the taste of anything pumpkin... definitely my time of year.

My first art show went very well. Not as many guests showed up as I was expecting but I can understand why. Last Friday night there were a lot of high school graduation ceremonies. Even my daughter was unable to attend my showing because she plays in the band and is required to attend all graduation ceremonies. 

I have 27 originals on display in the gallery and 36 prints. I was surprised and pleased that "Tool Shed" sold within the first hour. I was also able to sell ten prints. Hopefully I will sell more since my artwork will be on display till the end of June. My goal right now is not to become a famous artist (though that would be really cool). My goal is to sell enough artwork to support my hobby. Using colored pencils as a medium is not that expensive. It's the matting and framing of finished works that can become expensive. I hope to sell enough to pay for my supplies….and if I become well known in the process….I can live with that too.  :^)

Thanks for stopping by.

I'm excited to announce that I am having my first art show next month. Our local art gallery (Frames and Things) hosts art shows for local artists the first Friday of each month. For the month of June I was selected as a featured artist. About 30 original works of art will be displayed from my collection and several more prints. This is my first real opportunity to go public with my talent and I can hardly wait.

I am proud to announce that I entered my first art contest last Saturday.  The event is the Thiel-Silcox Fine Art Competition 2012 held at the Killeen, Texas Civic & Conference Center and sponsored by the Killeen Civic Art Guild.

What is even more awesome is that I won 2nd place for my colored pencil painting "Dolphins - Mother and Daughter" fav.me/d5iuj3f and Honorable Mention for "Old Grist Mill" fav.me/d57i6n7

Needless to say my family and friends are very excited. I can now honestly say that I am an "award winning artist."
This makes me happy  :-)
