I am very pleased to announce that I am now represented by Ellen Hobgood Gallery in Heber Springs, AR. Ellen's gallery is at 101 S. 3rd Street in beautiful downtown Heber Springs, right across from the Cleburne County courthouse. You can find an assortment of my Ozarks related paintings there including several Buffalo River pieces. That courthouse is calling out for me to paint it, along with many many other locations in and around Heber!
I am very pleased to announce that my piece "Simpson County, MS Courthouse" won First Place in the Landscape category in this show.
