Watercolor Artist Magazine — Featured Artist in the Winter 2025 Issue

Well, it's an honor and it's thrilling to be one of the featured artists in the Winter 2025 issue of Watercolor Artist. The issue center's around architectural subjects and since they found my mid-century commercial architecture paintings of neon and lighted signage to hold their interest, I have a whole eight pages dedicated to my art, techniques and story of my art journey. Their writer Rebecca Dvorak did a bang up job in writing the article, I could not have asked for better.

I feel like I have done my dad proud. He was learning watercolor painting and had Watercolor Artist on his shelves for a long time. All I can say now is how grateful and blessed I have been. As artists, we frequently have doubts, but this kind of pat on the back not only inspires me, but I hope it will inspire others in their love of watercolor media.

I hope you'll take the time to read through this issue, it really says what I could not iterate myself about my own art. Thanks Golden Peak Media!

Exhibiting at The Other Art Fair Dallas

It's official, I'm going to Dallas! I'll be exhibiting in The Other Art Fair Dallas at the Dallas Market Hall May 9-12, 2024. This is exciting for me since this is the first event of this type and format that I will participate in. Saatchi Art is the main presenter and they hand-pick the artists through applications. I will have more details as the time comes closer. I'm testing out the smallest booth size, but I think it is plenty to start with. The back wall is eight linear feet and side wings are four linear feet each. I am planning a variety of sizes, so as of late I have painted a few 12" x 12" works and have a few more small scale planned. Checking out the Spring Dallas fair, I could see that everyone sold art and that it did not matter whether an artist had large or small booths. In-fact, my impression was that the largest booth size might not be necessary since the exhibitors were not galleries but rather individual artists, plus the walls were fair

"Welcome Anybody" painting accepted into Exhibition in Houston

This year's Watercolor Art Society-Houston 47th International Watermedia Exhibition opened in style on March 3rd at the WAS-H Building near downtown Houston. The show boasts 88 masterworks from four countries and 21 states hung Salon style. The opening was well attended and a number of awards given. This year's show was judged by Vladislav Yeliseyev. My painting "Welcome Anybody" was accepted and it is my fourth year with this show. I am honored to have my work among such great painters. The juror's comment was "This is a high-quality show. It rivals the American Watercolor Society Show." "Welcome Anybody" was completed in late 2023 and is a composition I've wanted to do for quite some time. I visited San Francisco in 2005 on vacation with my spouse and shot many pictures in and around town. This store signage appealed to me because it had such a presence. I waited until the time seemed right because of it's unusual composition. I ha
