Richeson Small Works Show

I am very pleased to announce that these two paintings were selected as Meritorious Entries in the Richeson Small Works Show.  This is an annual international show which gets tons of entries.  While these pieces may not get to be displayed in the show, they will be shown in book which accompanies the show and I am very happy to have made this cut!

To Be Relentless Like the Sea

The black sand beach of Dyrholaey near Vik was one of my favorite places in Iceland.  The weather was pretty foul when we were there, about 40-45°F and spitting rain, but the place was still astounding.  This painting was accepted into the Arkansas League of Artist's annual juried show.  I have one final Iceland painting I have done.  I am sure I will return to it as a subject in the future but I am already started trying to get a jump on next year's solo show.
