Post Convention

Hyon Fielding was my assistant for the Past President's Paint Out last Saturday in Sun River.  She took such good care of me I thanked her with a small landscape painted there.  She said she would even continue helping me at award ceremony if needed because I couldn't stay. Surprise, surprise! She called later and said I did win so that means my painting for the first time will be in the traveling show aound Oregon for six months.  I'll get home soon and find out the particulars. 
 Oh, One final thing - I had this idea while out here in the boonies without any chap stick was to try (I was desperate) roll on deodorant!  I don't recommend it, thumbs down, Awful!

Show Next Weekend

I have been honored by being accepted to the Fall Transparent show in Sunriver Oregon with the Watercolor Society of Oregon. Reception October 8th, 5:00 pm

Fall Convention

I've painted in gouache and watercolor several Artist Trading Cards (Same size as base ball cards) for one of the events next month for the Watercolor Society of Oregon's Fall convention. We will be at Sunriver Resort just below Bend Oregon and most of the events will be on Saturday, October 8th.  In the morning I will join the 'Past Presidents Paint Out' as one of the demonstrators, drop off trading cards, and swap out for other artist cards. There will be plenty of other activities, not to mention just exploring this beautiful resort.
I'm looking forward to seeing the gallery of paintings juried in by Ted Nuttall and to give my complements to all the artists and volunteers that help make these events possible.

What A Nice Suprise!

I won a set of cards from Joan Breckwoldt Blog.  Click on the image of her "Monthly Giveaway" to go there.

Last weekend was the Watercolor Society of Oregon's biennial convention.  A decision was made for next year's transparent show to begin accepting soluble water media with transparent watercolor - The purists are becoming a dying breed!
