My painting <i>Vintage </i>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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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, <i>Deer Creek</i>. We had great attendance for the reception and awards.<br />

painted at the <a href="http://www.pototschnik.com/" target="_blank">John Pototschnik</a> workshop in Pontotoc, Mississippi, this past weekend.
I used an analogous palette, mixing all the colors used in the
painting from only 3 colors: ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson and
cadmium lemon yellow plus titanium white. First time to use a limited
palette like this; it was a challenge but I like how this turned out.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

The festival takes place in September across from the B.B. King
Museum and The Blue Biscuit along the
banks of Indian Bayou in Downtown
Indianola, Mississippi. The man in the red shirt is Lee Washington. He was selling his "Cotton Picking" metal sculptures, three of said pieces grace my home!<br />

monthly Paint Day. Kathy Smith and Ann Laird Jones led a mini-workshop in painting on clay with
under-glazes! For artists who paint but don't necessarily work with clay,
it gave us some laid-back, no-pressure exposure to a different medium.
It was great fun!</span></span><br />
