Dear art fans, collectors, friends, and family,

Since this is my first official newsletter, I wanted to let you know of arts related information.

I will be exhibiting a sizable collection of original paintings and prints on Saturday, September 13^th at the Running Y Art Festival. Since Ive never done the show, I dont really know what to expect, but I hear there will be quite a few other artists in attendance. The show is from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Other important art related news is that I had a painting purchased by the Rocky Mountain Clothing Corporation. The painting is a watercolor of a western scene and is now part of their corporate art collection. The painting was recently on display at the Ross Ragland art exhibition From the Field to the Table. The painting won second place.

I also had an oil painting Shasta Valley Sandhill Cranes juried into the Birds in Art exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodsen Art Museum. Since this exhibition is noted as the most prominent bird art show in the world, Im honored to get in the show again.

For those of you interested in buying originals or seeing them in person, you can come see me at the Running Y Fall Festival or you can go to the Parsonage Gallery and Wine Tasting in Carmel Valley, California.
