3 artworks juried into SOHS art exhibit and sale Dec, 2010

I got a phone call today - all 3 of my entries in the Southern Oregon Historical Society's 1st Annual exhibit and sale were accepted.
The exhibition opens tomorrow (Dec 1st), and is open until the 31st.

There is a special reception on the night of the 17th - which coincides with the monthly art walk. If you're in the area, why not plan to attend?

The SOHS site is: http://www.sohs.org/

I'm very pleased about having my work juried in, as I love preserving things of times past.

A prize winner! Cider Painters of America

I found out today that one of the two paintings I sent to Pennsylvania for the Cider Painters of America Annual Exhibition won a 'Judge's award'. They have 5 judges, and each one selects one painting that caught their eye, their favorite. A HUGE honor. So many paintings and a judge chose MINE!
It's 'Buffalo Hunter' - 3.25 x 1.35", in watercolor.
The exhibition is opening this weekend at VGOGH Gallery, 281 Wyoming Ave., Kingston, PA 18704. It will be open until the 31st December.
Also at the show is another work of mine - "Ridin' the Rails". This work won an 'Honorable Mention' at the El Dorado Miniature art exhibition in Colorado earlier this year. All SO exciting to me!
