I'll be at an artists' booth again at the event.  Please come visit and see some great Mississippi Delta art.

Vintage

A surprised Kay Shropshire and judge David Taylor
My painting Vintage took second place in the Delta Artists Association Members Show "Dog Days of Summer: Delta Artists Along Deer Creek" that opened July 25 at The Leland Progress in Leland, MS. As you can tell in the photo, I was VERY surprised.... and thrilled!

Congratulations to all our winners & participants in this outstanding show! A big "Thanks" goes out to our judge, Greenwood artist David Taylor who did a great job of judging this show plus giving out the awards and then he went on to explain why he chose each piece. That alone is reward enough for an artist to know the things they "did right" in their work.

It was a pleasure to help our judge David Taylor hand out awards.  Here's Juanita Gray receiving the People's Choice ribbon for her oil painting, Deer Creek. We had great attendance for the reception and awards.
