Ohio Valley Art League's 2018 Kentucky National Wildlife Art Exhibit

I'm very happy to get the news from the Ohio Valley Art League that my work titled "Winter Woods Elk" was accepted into this year's 2018 Kentucky National Wildlife Art Exhibit.  This national juried art show is held every two years at the Preston Arts Center in Henderson, Kentucky.  The opening reception and awards presentation will be held from 5 pm to 7 pm on Saturday October 20th 2018 in the Stagg Room at the Preston Arts Center. ( This painting is an 8 x 10 oil on linen RayMar board.)

Some Andalusian Happiness

A few years ago my husband and I took a wonderful trip to Spain.  We visited the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art.  What a beautiful day and a location steeped in history.  Having the chance to snap many reference shots of the training going on that day, I've been anxious to paint my impressions of the day.  This painting is titled "Andalusian Driving School".  It's a 16 x 20 oil on canvas and is currently available.  What an inspiring trip and this is only the first of many more paintings to come as a result!

Music City Grand Prix 2018

I am always honored to help support the Saddle UP! organization these past 5 years by providing the original oil painting of the winner of their $50,000 Music Country Grand Prix each spring. This year we have "Louise Graves and Zavira" spotlighted.  I appreciate that they embrace a piece of art for their advertising for this fundraising event.  The art is used for the advertising posters and invitations.  The painting is then auctioned to raise funds.  Here is a link to the website where you can have your questions answered about what, where, and when for this year's Music Country Grand Prix and to learn more about Saddle UP! therapeutic riding Programs.  I'm looking forward to seeing who I'll get to paint for next year!

Another Fun Weekend at the Art Event at Lipscomb 2018
