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....
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.
***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. (!)

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. For a gallery of all the included work, see https://artscouncilofannearundelcountynew.submittable.com/gallery/7b48ccac-1cbe-49b9-95f2-e282feaaa11e
It is so hard to decide what to send! Officially sending in my choices as submissions always stresses me out so. I want to choose ones that all have nothing to do each other if I were to choose my favorites and that doesn't work because, as I understand, it's desirable for any grouping of your work to seem cohesive. In any case, these 2 are what I will be delivering to the gallery:
Playing catch-up here on the blog. How amazing that I posted every day for a year! As I start spending more time on my next commission, I am doodling pomegranates as they are meaningful to the client.
Progress pics. the Most complete is ProCreate experimentation (pic of the painting digitally “painted” on the iPad. Analog painting to follow. Yes, those are glass beads glued to the canvas.
