One Show, Two Paintings!

Dear Friends,

I'm really happy here. Today I received a call and two of my paintings were accepted for the Contemporary Realism exhibit at the Escondido Municipal Art Gallery. This is a first time that I have two paintings in one exhibit.

But here is the best part...my painting "Art Gallery" actually won an Honorary Award! Yeap, so happy to hear the news as this is a very competitive juried exhibition.

I am currently working on a painting "Leopard" and already have the next painting in mind. Looking forward to it as well. It's going to be titled "Painter" and it will be a painting of an artist I admire, Jose Salvaggio, doing a plein air painting.  Can't wait to get started.

I will not be able to attend the art reception where the awards would be presented on May 10 because I will be up North, at a gala dinner with my son, celebrating mother's day.  I want to take this time to wish all mothers a wonderful special day, full of joy and love.

Love,
Glad

I Love Animals

Deer, 6"x6" oil on canvas

 




















Dear Friends,

I've been on an animal trend with my paintings lately.  I finished the "Two Macaws" and in the process of finishing "Wolf", while starting "Cheetah"...yeap...I am loving painting animals :)                

Friday I have my final art class with Fifth Graders in Valley Center for this year. We are finishing up our characters inspired by the movie "Rio".

I was invited to display my artwork at the San Diego Treasurer's office down town this month but I gracefully declined. Don't get me wrong, I love to display my work, but I want to do it in a place that appreciates art and not just a place where they want to cover up their walls.  My collectors are kind, sensitive people that appreciate my work, and I think their investment in my artwork could be better represented.

Anyway, hope all is well with you all.

Love,
Gladys
