Award at Wilmington!

One of my entries in the Wilmington Art Association's Spring show, held in conjunction with the NC Azalea Festival, won the Georgia and Jack Newton Memorial Award.  Woo too!  Here's the winning piece.  It's called "Regard" and its 36" x 36."

Back home...

Can't believe how quickly a month - an entire month! - went by in Florida.  Enjoyed exploring the Tallahassee area then down to Alexander Springs (nice clear water chilly swim) and then our favorite Kissimmee Prairie.  Had planned to paint but decided to spend the time exploring instead and "filling the well."

When we left I had a number of half-finished paintings.  Now I am working to finish some up.  Here's a marsh view than I'm working on now… We really do have that wash of purple in the early morning this time of year…
