I was honored to receive an Honorable Mention for my painting "Country Church" in the Spring City Arts Competition. There were lots of very fine artists in the competition so I'm very pleased. 
​I had twelve artist friends staying with me the week of the event so it has been crazy busy fun. Evenings on my front porch with Steve Stauffer playing guitar and singing while we all enjoy the music.
Thanks to all the volunteer help who work so hard to make this a great event for the artists and visitors.

The Fairview Fine Art Museum is a wonderful museum in Sanpete County, Utah. I am honored to be the winner of their Art Walk competition receiving First Place in Watercolor and Second Place in Oil. 
The museum has several of my paintings and sculptures on permanent display.  In the first photo I am standing by one of my sculptures and one of my paintings is on the wall. In the second photo I am standing by one of my paintings from a series of homeless paintings I did in about 1995. That painting is called "Alden's Goat". Alden lived in a car junk yard and let me paint him, his goat and surroundings.

  I was privileged once again to be the guest artist at the meeting of the Intermountain Society of Artists who are a great group of local artists devoted to learning, exhibiting , and mentoring each other. 
  I did a larger painting from a smaller plein air painting I had done of a home next to my Sugar House art studio.
  Then had a nice question answer period after.

  This is the annual Plein Air Art Show where invited artists will be painting somewhere around the 15th Street Gallery from 3:00pm until around 8:pm so you can come and watch, then those paintings will be for sale that evening through the gallery. 
  It is a fun event with live music, artists at work and refreshments.
​Come look for me, I don't know where I will be painting yet.
​I hope you can attend.
