New Larger Pics

I recently completed two large (for me) drawings. They were SO time -consuming. I have some ideas for other larger scale pieces, but it is hard to change from my usual size when they take even longer.

Cooperstown X2

I am very pleased to have "Treasure Trove", my silver spoons drawing, juried into the Cooperstown Art Association's Annual National Exhibition. I feel very lucky indeed, as 531 images were submitted and only 125 chosen. Very exciting but also humbling.

I was also very pleased to have "Blue Seal", juried into the Annual Cooperstown Art Association's Regional Art Show "Essential Art". This piece won a blue ribbon at the Hagaman Art Show and is a favorite because the subject matter contains so many items of symbolic and sentimental value from the course of my life.

A Few New Pieces

Here are some new pieces I had photographed recently. The silver spoons picture (see it now under "Cooperstown X2" post above)

was very challenging and I tried to really capture all the subtle colors in my subject. Still life subjects really pop for me and I am always on alert for new ideas. These will be cropped by the mat later.
