Today I delivered my two paintings that were accepted in the Visual Arts Alliance 25th Juried Open Exhibition, juried by Sally Sprout. "Winter Light on Fruit" and "Mykonos in May" were both accepted. I had also entered "Gandering Geese", but it didn't make the cut. I'm excited and honored to be in this show! The Opening Reception is Thursday, May 1, 2008, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Williams Tower Gallery, 2800 Post Oak Blvd., Houston, TX 77056. The show will be on display May 1 to June 5, 2008. Williams Tower Gallery is on the ground floor and is open for public viewing Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The building is closed on weekends. There is no charge to visit the gallery. It is a beautiful space, and I hope you will make time to come see this well chosen exhibit which includes a wide variety of media. And while you are there, you may as well walk out to the amazing Water Wall, a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the Williams Tower! Hope to see you at the Opening Reception!

"Gandering Geese"

"Gandering Geese"

Watercolor on Arches 140 CP

This painting was recently on display at the Watercolor Art Society-Houston 31st International Exhibit in Houston, Texas. I hope you were able to get by and see it before it came down last Thursday. I painted these feisty geese from a photo taken at the Duck Pond on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. I think the big guy definitely has some attitude!
