I found out yesterday that I won first place in the "Urban/Architectural Landscape" category in the Art Along the Creek show (yay for blue ribbons!). And second place in the "Figure/Portrait" category... that one really made me laugh, you all know I hardly ever paint people! And certainly not well enough to win an award :)
A little commission I did of my favorite beach spot...at least my favorite to paint. This will probably be the last commission I can accept for a while, I will be so busy preparing for upcoming shows!
Oil on panel, 5x5
Also if you're in town this weekend stop by the SCAPE Art Along the Creek Show, especially if you're already at the mission checking out the chalk paintings! It's a pretty big show...
I was asked to create the image for the Carp-A-Cabana invite this year, a fundraiser for the Carpinteria Education Foundation. This painting will be auctioned off at the event on September 10th.
