Hi All!

Hi All
This fall mother nature treated us to one of the most spectacular displays of color in Colorado. I traveled around the state painting and photographing in awe of what I was seeing and so inspired! Attached are two paintings resulting from my journey in autumn 08.

Wanted to share with you that my painting was selected for the Salon Intenational 2008 catalogue. It is number 49 on the cover. You can see it and the other paintings selected for the show at www.greenhousegallery.com. The show opens this weekend so check it out now before the sales start!

Wanted to share some great news... My painting "Newport Blue and White" has been accepted in a juried competition for Salon International 2008! The show will open at the Greenhouse Gallery of Fine Art, San Antonio, Texas on April 12 and is sponsored by the International Museum of Contemporary Masters of Fine Art. I am honored to be included in this show with so many accomplished professional artists. Will include more details for you as they become available.
Thanks for your support.
Please contact me anytime for info or questions.
All the Best
