Gracie

Here is the finished portrait of Gracie, a beautiful young Dane. I especially enjoyed painting her, having had a Dane myself a few years ago. I love the breed. I think Gracie has exceptional eyes that melt your heart. This portrait is 16 x 20 acrylic on gessobord.

the Artist's Magazine competition

I couldn't post this for 4 months now as I was sworn to secrecy until the magazine came out but someone just congratulated me so the December issue must be out.

I won the wildlife division of the Artist's magazine annual competition with Great Gray Hunter, out of over 1600 entries. There were 11,000 entries total in all categories together. That is my biggest win so far.

Here is a bit on the juror, Brennie Brackett, I love her sheep painting on this page.

IALHA Magazine Cover

My painting "All Would Envy" of a bay Andalusian Stallion was chosen to be on the cover of the Andalusian National Show issue. They also included a very nice article inside. You can see the magazine here.

All Would Envy is available as a fine art print.

Federal Duck Stamp Judging

Today is the first day of the Federal Duck Stamp judging. They have moved 30 out of the 270 entries on to the second round tomorrow when the winner will be chosen. My entry has made it in the top 30 so far. There are several beautiful entries in there though I have my guesses which will win! (and they aren't mine! :) )

You can see all the entries here.
