I received my copy of the December issue of the Artist’s Magazine, which lists the 26th Annual Competition winners.  Although I wasn’t a winner, I was a finalist in the Portrait/Figure category, and was listed in the magazine on page 57.

Today I received notification of my acceptance into the International Guild of Realism.  Acceptance is a juried process based on portfolio review.  I’m excited about the exhibition and network opportunties that come along with being a member.

Seriously. This upcoming Friday, August 21st is the artist’s reception at Paper Kite Gallery for the “This Year the Art is TWICE as Free Exhibit”. As the title suggests, if you like any of the pieces in the show, you can have them for the bargain price of absolutely free. This is a yearly exhibit which Paper Kite Gallery does to give back to the community, and all pieces are donated by artists. I have prints of “Blue Nude” and “Haven” in the show. You can read all about the show at Paper Kite Gallery’s website.

I’ve decided to give Imagekind a go.  They’re a printing/framing/shipping service which is gaining popularity with artists.  You can visit my gallery here. The prints I’ll be selling there will be open edition.  If you’ve previously bought a limited edition print from me, it will remain a limited edition (100 prints per edition) that can only be purchased directly through me, via my official website. One of the nice features of Imagekind is that you can order the print matted & framed, shipped directly to you, so be sure to check it out.

This past Friday at the CPSA Awards banquet in Atlanta, I received my CPSA Signature status certificate and pin.

I’m very excited and honored that “Crescendo” has been selected as a finalist in the Portrait/Figure category of The Artist’s Magazine 26th Annual Art Competition.  My name will appear in the December issue of the magazine, with the other finalists.
