I just received my notice from the Museum of Eastern Idaho that juror Scott Christensen (www.christensenstudio.com/) has selected both of my paintings for the Biennial Show "Idaho Paints Idaho" (www.theartmuseum.org/IdahoPaints.htm). This is a tremendous honor! The show runs August 5 through October 29, 2011. There will be a reception and awards ceremony on Saturday, August 6 at 6pm at the Art Museum.
My portrait of Wiley Petersen received a top award at this year's Idaho Watercolor Society Annual Show, garnering me Signature Status in the organization. The painting also received the honor of inclusion in the traveling show, which comprises the top 20 paintings selected by the juror. They will be displayed in 4 separate venues around the state for the next year.
