I had a different kind of gig this weekend… live portrait painting!!! For about 4.5 hours, I painted around 20 paintings of wedding guests - 38 human figures altogether. Congratulations to Chelsea and Josh! It was an honor to help celebrate their wedding.

My booth

I had a busy day at the Holiday Art Market put on by Pittsburg Arts Council! Lots of fun.

Also... sushi

I was honored to win 1st place in the Joplin Regional Artists' Coalition Show, Good Things Come in Small Packages for my watercolor piece, "Entangled".

Also... some sushi, so it was a great night.

I was asked to be a juror for a juried show at Pittsburg State University. It was a difficult task! I have so much more appreciation for jurors now and the very difficult decision-making that is involved in jurying an art show.

This is Sal. He has a lot of fears. I have my theories as to why.

Entangled. Watercolor and Arches paper. 12" x 12".
