BIG OCTOBER

10/30/2019

October has been jam packed month. Luckily, it's all good news. I'll start with the competitions.

My painting "Coke Carrier" exhibited in the 32nd Annual Northern National Art Competition and won top prize, an Award of Excellence - outstanding for a little 12" x 12" piece! Then, later this month, "Drinking Happy Bird" picked up 3rd Place in 41st Annual Whitewater Valley Art Competition.

To add to the excitement, McCormick Gallery found a home for "Kik Bak Paddle Board", a painting that goes back to my first solo show.

Finally, the most exciting news, Kate and I are officially land owners! We bought 1.5 acres in Homer Glen, IL, a southwest suburb of Chicago. It's a heavily wooded corner lot in a unique 3 home cul-de-sac; soon to be 4. We are beyond excited to start building our dream home.
