Welcome
to my website and to my latest newsletter. This is a breakthrough
for me because this is the first newsletter I have produced that
is specifically for this site and only for this site. I have decided
to use this medium from now on as the primary way of keeping in
touch with you my collectors, students and fans. If I do not have
your e-mail address, PLEASE forward that to me so that I can notify
you as each newsletter comes on-line.

I
want to officially welcome Gallery
1000 as the exclusive representative
of my works in California. Located in Carmel, the
gallery presents a distinctive collection of impressionistic
oils, dry-point engraving, glass sculpture and bas-relief
in bronze. Owner, Maria Ward, is proud to present
these selections from a cosmopolitan coterie of internationally
acclaimed artists from around the world. Maria has
maintained the focus on original, quality art that
continues to appeal to discriminating art lovers.
The gallery is privileged to have both local and foreign
collectors, a testament to the quality of the art
presented. I’m pleased to have
Gallery 1000 represent me.
I hope you will go see her when in California. See

Arts
for the Parks
– I had pretty good success this year in the extremely
competitive juried competition to select the best paintings
of our national parks from the thousands of works submitted.
Last year I submitted one work and it was selected as
one of the ‘Top 100’. This year I submitted
four works and had three accepted. The painting at left,
“Woody Goldenrod,” was selected as one of
the ‘Top 200’ paintings. In a new category
featuring the top fifty miniature works, two of my paintings
were chosen. All the works will be on display and available
for purchase through September at the Jackson Lake Lodge,
Grand Teton National Park, Jackson
Hole, WY. |

Painters of America
– “Oh Silence Profound” was my submission
for the 11th Annual National Juried Exhibition. Chosen
from hundreds of paintings, the selected works by
artists from almost every state were exhibited by
the Hilligoss Galleries in Chicago through the month
of May. International
Artist Magazine
Challenge No. 8 – At last a
top three finish in the magazine’s monthly painting
competition featuring, this time, Flowers and
Gardens. I have placed in the top ten twice before
so it was nice to finally make the podium… and
the cash award was a great bonus also. |

![]() THOUGHT
PROVOKING NEWS |

This
was sent to me by a fellow pumpkin. I think it qualifies as thought
provoking. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A
woman was asked by a co-worker, “What is it like to be a Christian?”
The
co-worker replied, “It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you
from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you,
Next, He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes
the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then He carves you a new
smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for the entire
world to see.”
