AWARD FROM OSCEOLA CENTER FOR THE ARTS

My drawing “2 Horses of Rothenburg” got an Honorable Mention ribbon! I am very happy and pleased. You can see the drawing with the ribbon and an admirer as it hangs right now in the Osceola Center for the Arts gallery.

This event came up rather suddenly for me. A friend encouraged me to get involved with the Osceola Center for the Arts in Kissimmee, Florida. I’m glad I did! Everyone is friendly and the facility is very nice! Their gallery just received a donation for a new free-standing wall which allowed them to take 20 additional artworks for their 2008 Annual Juried Show. In October, they are having their annual drawing show which I will enter. I’ve had a drawing in mind for about two years which will go along with the drawing I entered in this 2008 Juried show.

"2 Horses of Rothenburg" is an 18x24 pencil drawing on paper. It has been professionally framed. If you like it very much but cannot afford the price for the original that is okay! A print can be purchased for $2.95 for the smallest. I’m thinking of putting this one on a t-shirt or a tote. That is also available for anyone to purchase through Artwanted.com. Just click on the picture to see a list of all the choices.

Lake Eola Heights Garden Tour 2008

I was honored to spend a great afternoon with friendly people painting a scene in their private garden. You see the result to the right. The turnout for the event was tremendous. There were many visitors. I found a relatively shady spot to paint from and proceeded to paint one of the nicest features of the garden.

I look forward to the next Lake Eola Heights Garden Tour in 2010!
