Shows, Awards and new WIP

Well here I am apologizing for not posting in months.
But I believe I have a legitimately good excuse this time.
After over 35 years in our home, we moved it all out to a newly built carriage house.
It's actually a little bigger than out old house and we are loving it.
So who knew that packing up 35 years of your life would take so darn long?!
But all worth it and I love my new studio space, spacious with more light.

So here's what's been happening.

I finally finished "Little Sparrow".
It is now on display in 
The Signature American Watermedia Exhibition until April 30, 2019.


"Stitch in Time" received 
The Peoples Choice Award
in the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society International Exhibition.
That was certainly a nice surprise!


"Bourbon Street Chess Master" was selected as a finalist in the
Richeson Portrait and Figure Competition.

"Sunset" was awarded
The Jack Richeson & Co Award
at the Northeast Watercolor Society Exhibition.
The generous award was a selection of my choice of their watercolor tube paints.
And just for fun they threw in a set of watercolor brushes and masking fluid!
I am using them all now on my current painting.
The paint is expensive but lovely to work with and the brushes are a synthetic blend that hold their points and shapes for the detail work I enjoy.

This is what's on my table now.
Much of my time the past couple of months has been consumed with the move
and settling into our new home.
So I'm feeling a little rusty and choose to start with my familiar
subjects of glass and flowers.
So far so good.
