Plein Air Winner

This is the painting "Sunrise on the Coral Canal" that won the award in the Paint the Cape competition. I really had fun doing it, although it was really cold out there at 6:30 AM!

Prize in Paint the Cape Cometition

My painting, "Sunrise on the Coral Canal" won second place and $500 in the "Paint the Cape" competition this week.  It was worth all the cold fingers and feet.  The painting will be on display at Cape Harbour until tomorrow morning.  I still need to photograph it and will post the picture soon.

Two New Newspaper Articles

There are two new articles about me and my work.  One is written by Betsy Clayton and is in her column in FLORIDA WEEKLY, and the other is by Amy Williams and is in the Thursday January 7th NEWS-PRESS in the "Lifestyles" sectiion on the front page. Lots of pictures of paintings, and of me and my cat! There are no links I can find to the News-Press article.  I'll try to find one for Betsy's.  Both articles refer to the American Artist piece about my acrylic paintings, and Betsy puts the emphasis on kayaking to paint Florida's wild places.

Paint the Cape

We artists have been out on the streets and canals of Cape Coral this week trying to do some masterpieces for the Paint the Cape competition.  It has been very challenging to say the least.  Wind, cold, rain--you name it  and we've had it!  I have started two paintings.  One is a sunrise painting looking east on our canal, and the other is a painting of my bougainvilla plant that is by the water.  If I survive and don't get pneumonia I will put these pics up for you to see by Friday.  Friday evening is the reception at the Cape Harbor Pavilion.
