Hare, 6" x 6" on canvas

Hello my art friends,

I've been busy traveling and painting.  I made it back to the Art Institute of Chicago.  How I love that museum and walking through it's rooms and noticing different things on the art pieces I saw last time I was there and discovering new ones. 

Before I left on my trip I was able to visit Stagecoach Vineyard in Escondido and spent a day doing plein air. While I'm still having a hard time painting outside and feeling I have to rush as the light changes, it was a more enjoyable experience then my last time. I'm definitely a studio artist!

I've been painting representational paintings again, now that's June. I began with a few animal paintings but I'm back to my favorite people paintings. 

I feel it's time for me to grow as an artist, to draw better, to paint faster, to make my paintings more interesting.  I'm going to focus on this for the next few months.

This is all from me today, I hope all is well with you.

Love,
Glad

First Online Juried Art Exhibit

Bertha & Man with Dog (Both oil on canvas 11"x14")

Happy to announce two of my paintings were juried into the 9th Annual Figurative Art Exhibition at Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery.

This is the first online jury exhibit I have entered as I normally only enter local

art shows.  There were 845 submissions from 35 countries so it's a different feeling knowing that I was juried into an art show with artists from other parts of the world. 

One painting was juried and has received Special Recognition (Bertha) and one painting has received a Special Merit Painting Award (Man with Dog). These are in my own top 10 favorite paintings I have created :)
