A New Year Begins

In a couple days I will post about a great workshop we had here with Roger Dale Brown. It was still life- and it was so inspiring!
 Roger and I were two of the artists interviewed recently IN A 2-part blog by John Pototschnik about what part faith plays in our work as artists. Read PART 1 HERE... and Read PART 2 HERE.

But I'm behind on my blog. I have not shared my new car tag  with you! I bought back in November... Watch for my black Honda minivan on warm days this spring. I'm pretty much in the studio for now.

Mississippi's new license plate has a guitar and says, "Celebrating Mississippi Creative Culture".

News: 

•  Invited to go to Ireland this August to paint in Ireland's "Art in the Open", Europe's largest plein air paint out.  Looking forward to traveling over with my friend Becky Joy. We will both be doing a demo and teaching one day. 

• Recently I was asked to contribute to write and do a demo or two for another new art book! More to come on that later!

• I have work in a couple fund raisers coming up. The Amish Road pictured in the upper right below was selected by the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum in Biloxi to be in in a fund raiser (tonight!)  at the Beau Revage Convention Center ballroom in Biloxi. The painting was selected from the Pink Rooster, my gallery in Ocean Springs.
• The Heart Ball in Jackson will also have one of my other paintings included this year.
