SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 

Just to let everyone know, I've been awarded Signature Member status with OPA (Oil Painters of America). This is very difficult to obtain and certainly quite a privilege. I've been a member for 5 years, won Awards of Excellence in 4 consecutive national  juried OPA shows and applied for Signature status 3 times. Here is a brief excerpt  from the letter I received:

"At its December meeting the OPA Board of Directors approved the award of Signature Member status to you for showing remarkable talent in the paintings that you have exhibited at the national OPA shows."

Let me recommend joining OPA for all of you oil painters out there. You may check out their site at www.oilpaintersofamerica.com.


Be sure to check out  the new 5x7 paintings I've just added to my site, including some painted en plein air. These continue to be a big hit and I will keep them coming as time allows!
