Hello friends, time for a few updates!
I have recently completed three new small works on panel, and they are available for purchase now, and will be available on Ebay eventually if they don't sell before then.
Each of these small paintings is painted on 8x10 panels and are currently not framed. However, the third piece shown here with the waterfall has future plans pending at the moment. A frame has been ordered for it, and I plan on entering it for a show very soon.
Which brings me to my second bit of news, and that is I have recently joined the Missouri Valley Impressionist Society as a new member, and my first order of business as a new member is to enter the upcoming Juried Exhibition to take place at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri. Over the past few years, I have taken a greater interest in landscape painting, in which I have been able to explore a more loose and impressionistic approach to painting that is a much different and fun change of pace from my more traditional and indirect approach to figurative and portrait painting. This is not to say that I've quit portrait and figurative painting. By no means! But I will be putting a lot more emphasis and focus on landscape and nature painting, and continuing to develop and hone my skill in alla prima techniques. I am really looking forward to the community of artists in the MVIS, many of whom I already know well.
More to come soon on the MVIS and the Juried show.
I'd also like to remind everyone that the PVAC State of the Arts show is currently online, and my painting In The Light is available for purchase through the Prairie Village Arts Council webstore. The show and the online store can be viewed here:

That is all the news for now. Please stay tuned for more soon!
