- If you've been to Jones Gallery lately, you might notice that I've downsized the number of works I'm showing, but I've also added a few new pieces as well. I added 4 works for April First Friday; two landscape paintings and two drawings, including my recent award-winning charcoal portrait Wisdom from the Blue Springs Fine Art Show in March. Please contact me at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com, or David at Jones Gallery at 816-421-2111 to inquire about purchasing any of these works.

- This July, I will have some work featured at the Ottawa Community Arts Council's Figurative Arts & Classical Nude exhibition at Carnegie Cultural Center in Ottawa, Kansas. This is the first show of its kind at this gallery, and for the OCAC, and I am honored to have been invited to show my work in this exhibition.
- My latest painting for my Scenes of Creation series is completed. For more information, or if you are interested in purchasing this piece, please email me at ryandelgadoart@gmail.com with the Subject line: "Floodgates".

In addition to Scenes of Creation, I have begun preliminary work on a new series of paintings called Hands. St. Francis of Assisi is noted for saying, "Speak the Gospel of Jesus, and if necessary, use words." The implication, of course, is that our actions speak louder than our words. Our hands have power to speak the gospel as much as, if not more than our speech. This series of paintings is inspired by Scripture, and will be an expressive telling of the gospel using only images of hands.
- That is all for now. For more, please see my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/ryandelgadoart and my ongoing studio sale on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ryandelgadoart. Please stay tuned for more announcements on new work and shows coming up!
