I am thrilled to have received an acceptance into Our American Soul, a juried exhibition by the Gallery Underground, an art gallery part of the Arlington Arts Alliance (VA), located in Crystal City (adjacent to Reagan National Airport). This is my first acceptance into a non-MD gallery that is not for virtual work. So, I will be schlepping my Mind The Glass mixed media artwork down to Arlington, probably using the Metro....
Follow The White Rabbit (18x22" acrylic on canvas panel) is now on exhibit at BWI as part of the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County's rotating exhibit.
I had a good time at the reception last night for the 2023 Maryland Federation of Art Spring Member Show. Thanks to everyone who came out!
The Maryland Federation of Art’s (jurored) Spring Member Show is up at Circle Gallery (Annapolis, MD) thru May 27th, with its closing reception that evening from 4-6pm. See mdfedart.org for details.
My entry is the 1st of 2 pomegranate studies I finished this year.
That’s my 3rd ever sale at the gallery. The story is that a guy came in and got the welcome spiel and came back to the desk before the employee even got to sit down (so like in 3 seconds, it’s a small gallery) saying, “I want this one,” and Herman was gone. And this was before the reception. Just a well-in. (!!!)
It didn’t hurt I’m sure having I made the exhibition title wall. First time for that too. Very exciting.
To wrap up the year, I have received 2 positive notifications from juried exhibitions:
1- Small Wonders 2022 (Maryland Federation of Art, Circle Gallery, Annapolis, MD):

***UPDATE*** This artwork received an Honorable Mention award for this exhibition. (There were 5 “Juror’s Choice” awards and 5 Honorable Mentions.)

So pleased to have my mixed media (ink, watercolor, acrylic/gouache) artwork included in this year’s Maryland Federation Of Art’s American Landscapes exhibition. (!)
Title: Summit (Top of E. Atlantic St. dune crossing, Fenwick Island, DE)
Media: Mixed media (watercolor, acrylic ink)
Size: 14"W x 20"H
My artwork, Mind The Glass, has been included in the Art Council of Anne Arundel County in “Exhibit 34: Imagine…” which will be on display between concourses C & D (pre-security) from July 22–November 14 at BWI (Thurgood Marshall Baltimore Washington International Airport, Baltimore, MD, USA). This is my first non-gallery exhibition and speaking of imagination, I can’t imagine a setting where more people might see artwork in person over a period of time than a busy national airport. 🫢 Incredible.

Happydance! My An Apple A Day digital painting, Flow, has been accepted to be part of the Maryland Federation of Art's upcoming 2022 Digital Directions show. As usual, something I didn't overthink and that was more play than anything is the successful image.
