Fall In the Hill Country
Fall has finally arrived in the Texas Hill Country with long awaited cooler weather. Mornings are lovely yet still warming up during the day.
Its been a busy October and November. I participated in the annual Paint Kerrville competition selling one of my pieces. It was bitter sweet as this was such a special place and I was very happy with the outcome. It was purchased by the ranch owners where it was painted. So honored to have my painting hanging in their home.
Following a week in Kerrville, my painting buddy Brenda Cascio of BrendaCascio.com and I traveled to San Angelo, Texas to participate in the En Plein Air Texas Artist Revival where we painted shoulder to shoulder with some of the best artists in the country who shared their tips and tricks as well as personal feedback and critique. Amazing experience!
I have two peices in the Central Texas Pastel Society's annual show and sale at the Georgetown Public Library in Georgetown, Texas. The Drawn To Morning Light exhibit will be on display November 14 - January 3, 2026. UPDATE!!! "Beneath the Rising Sun" won Honorable Mention!
I also have a piece in the Georgetown Art Center's Small Works show on exhibition November 21 - January 3, 2026. Artist reception and awards November 22 4:00 -6:00 with awards announced at 5pm.
Leaving early Monday morning (Nov 17th) headed to Big Bend National Park for the annual Outdoor Painters Society (OPS) paint out. I participated in this event last year and it does not disappoint. Some of the most rugged and dangerous yet beautiful and serene landscape in all of Texas, hands down. Traveling with 3 of my best painting buddies I'm looking forward to painting, socializing and star gazing for a week. Watch for updates to my website with new pieces I know I'll come back with.
Be safe
Stay warm
and most of all.....
enjoy every moment
