"Ranch hands" watercolor progress

Here is my progress so far on 'Ranch hands', watercolor. I mostly worked on layering colors over the background and I worked on the puppy a bit. I think the last day I worked on this was Friday. Today has been an interesting day that has been eating time. I'm sure you all can relate to days like that! So I haven't made it into the studio.

 

I've discovered a few more high profile Juried Art Exhibits to gather info about and prepare paperwork to submit for next year. Most of these shows are a year ahead, so that means I'm just getting things together before the deadlines arrive for the 2011 exhibits. Most of those deadlines are in May of this year.

I'm also hoping that by the end of April or sometime in May, I'll have news to share about the Invitational Sedona, Arizona Group Gallery Exhibit 2011.  

 

News from this weekend! Saturday I entered the Waterville Area Art Society's 20th Annual Maine Open Juried Art Show in Waterville, Maine. There was a large turnout of artists, from what I could see and each of us carrying at least two works of art. I entered 'Apple butter', watercolor and 'Zebra's new day' Oil. I'm proud to say that 'Apple butter' got in! I'm including an image here to jog your memory as to which painting I am talking about.

 

 

                                                                                                

The exhibit runs from march 29th to April 10th, 2010 at the Opera house/The Center/dance studio on the 3rd floor. An open reception and award presentation takes place on Thursday, April 1, from 6-8pm. It is located on Main Street in Waterville. You can find it here http://www.watervillemainstreet.org

Also this Thursday morning I'll be taking two wildlife paintings to the Augusta Maine Sportsman Show Art Show. I'm not sure how everything seems to fall on the same day...but that is going to be one busy day, as I plan on going to the opening reception in Waterville that evening.

I'm also suppose to be jurying an Equine Art Exhibit right now. Needs to be done by the end of this week. So, wouldn't you know, I can't load the page online that has all the entries. It has been one of those days today! I guess it's Monday, for sure.

 

I hope you had a great weekend.....did you happen to see any Dragons in your travels???? If so, My boy & I know how to train them! Pretty close to training your horse...or dog! Loved the movie!

talk to you tomorrow,

Debbie
