Texas Traditions

A new publication Texas Traditions Contemporary Artists of the Lone Star State is set for release in September 2010. I am happy to say that I'll be included among many great artists. The first of three shows promoting the new book is scheduled for August 21st at Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas. I will be sending two paintings (Cactus Flowers from my last post) and an 8x12 Hay Bales painting. Planned are a barbecue luncheon, book signing, panel discussion, etc. It promises to be a big deal! Hope to see you there!

Alamo Kiwanis Western Art Show

Well, I just got home from the Alamo Kiwanis Club Western Art Show in San Antonio. This is one of the Alamo Kiwanis Club's two big fundraisers for the year. There were lots of people in attendance @ $100/person. However, there were not a lot of buyers. This was my first year, so I don't have anything to compare to, but I heard about how wonderful this show was in '08, and how bad '09 was. Well, I guess '10 followed suit with '09. I did sell one small painting, Road in the Hills. This is from some sketches I did near Blanco, TX. The other painting, Cactus Flowers, was also in the show. I got lots of compliments, but just the one sale. I am thankful for it, and it is for the benefit of a good cause. I enjoyed it, and got to spend some time with some great friends!
