My camera woes continue.  the colors on this are so wrong, and I cannot seem to correct it.

And it will not get a crisp, clear shot.  But, its the only camera we have at the moment.

Masterworks Art Exhibit

I'm pleased to announce that my painting, Still Life with  Nest II, was juried into the 15th Annual Masterworks exhibit down in Albuquerque.  Above is the postcard from the event, and bottom right is pictured my painting from last year's show, Packing Out. I was happy to see it was included on the advertising for the show.  That's cool.  This is just a scanned copy of the card, so  colors are a bit off.
Here's the details on the show:

Well, I dove right back in to painting after about a 7 month hiatus.  The impetus was a juried show here in New Mexico. I did very well at this same show last year, and so I felt it was a good investment of time to

enter again, and hope for the best.  

Unfortunately, I mis-read the application information, and ended up with only 3 days to do a painting, and I had to drive 2 hours to hand deliver the entry form in order to get it there in time!

I've painted many of these same elements before.  And, because I had such little time, it seemed like a good idea to paint something relatively straightforward and simple.
