After being encouraged by one of my artist friends,  I decided at the last minute to enter this year’s Southwestern Watercolor Society’s Annual Members Exhibition.  I selected three pieces of work that met their criteria, submitted the work,  and hoped for the best!!  I have just been notified that one of my pieces made it into the show…. WOO HOO!!  The Awards Reception will be Sunday, September 20^th (6-8pm) – Eisemann Center , 2351 Performance Drive, Richardson, TX.    This year more than 139 artists submitted 326 paintings to this show.  Only 75 pieces were selected so I feel much honored!!  If you are able to attend the reception please let me hear what think of the show!!!  Be sure to look for my piece “Rainy Day Tulips”  Hopefully it will be the one with the  BEST OF SHOW  ribbon next to it!!!

I am putting the final touches on paintings and getting organized for this years show at the Dallas Arboretum.   If you haven't  attended this event before ....  it is a don't miss !!!  Look for me at booth 55.  If you would like a free pass to the preview party send me a note so I can get a pass to you.   This will be one of the new pieces featured !!!!   I hope to see you there.

   I am looking forward to gathering with friends and patrons at Walton's Garden Center again this Thursday.   I will be bringing some of my newest pieces ...  I can't wait to show them.  Hope everyone is planning to come see me, walk around the garden, have a glass of wine, and enjoy the artwork!!   

My first outdoor event was this year at the Dallas Arboretum ... Artscape 2014!!   I am feeling so lucky to have been invited to do this show.  The amount of work that went into getting ready was substantial but with the help of my wonderful husband and friends ... we made it.  Friends and family from all around Texas came to see me and support my efforts.  I met wonderful people, the weather was perfect,  I gained insight and enjoyed the comments that the public made about my work and was blessed to sell  several pieces of artwork over the weekend.    I can't wait to do it again next year!!!!

This painting is titled "Psalm 23" ... an emotional journey.   A huge thank you to all my friends and family who traveled far to make this show.  It was wonderful to see you there!!!

TEXAS ART BEAT was formed by a group of female artists with a common goal in mind.  It is our desire to share our artwork!  We each have our own unique and creative style and use a variety of mediums to express our points of view.  Art is a visual experience, a silent language, a way of soulfully connecting without speaking a single word....

As a member of Texas Art Beat I invite you to visit our show currently hanging at the Center for the Arts in Hobbs, New Mexico.  Our show will be hanging through March 28th, 2013.  

I was invited to attend and show my work in the Midland Arts Association Fall Show.  The juror was Tina Fuentes from Lubbock, Texas.  There were over 200 pieces of artwork entered and less than 78 pieces of artwork were selected for this show.  "Shark Tank"  was inspired by my first scuba diving experience.  It was a wonderful other worldly experience but a little frightening.  This painting was an expression of that experience.
