Coming....and going.

We had an art show at the Gainesville, TX, depot. I entered two views of the station. One of my drawings got an honorable mention. At a show for Valentines Day at a local shop, Vine and Branches, I sold one these views of the train station.

Wine labels

I have entered a wine label contest by sending in these two paintings. The one on the right can be viewed also by turning it upside down.

AARP calendar drawing

Last March I submitted a drawing to the AARP Foundation for publication on their 2012 calendar. They informed me that my drawing of a man working on his car will represent March 2012. This is a national publication and has me excited about continuing my artwork. I have received six copies of the calendar and will distribute them to friends and family.

Black and White IX Exhibit at Grayson College

I have three drawings hanging at Grayson College at a show called Black and White IX Exhibit. They will hang until March 28th. They are at the first floor exhibit hall. The center lower picture is not mine. The top center is The Garden and side drawings are of Keith's shop, The Hot and Cold Corners. The show has over 100 drawings, paintings, photos and sculptures.

The Hacker House

My newest drawing of local homes. I have included the trees and chicken coop to make the drawing more interesting to viewers other than the former owners.

I am attending drawing sessions of live models to improve my figure drawing and plan to add figures to my next drawings.

Napa Valley and wine flavors

This drawing was submitted to a Dallas restaurant as a wine label contest entrant. It can be viewed from either direction as the bottle of wine is resting on a rack. Turn it upside down and check. It is a drawing of the Napa Valley, Howell Mountain and Atalon Winery, and the three flavor elements, black cherry, blueberry and peppercorn.
