Salon International 2009

"Beehive" 16x12 oil

It's so nice to get out of the box and paint something you know may never sell, or just will appeal to either artists or a certain clientele (I like to think those with great taste). In other words, painting for the pure enjoyment and challenge.
"Beehive" is one of those paintings. I am very fortunate though to have some judges for The Salon International 2009 (sponsored by The Greenhouse Gallery in San Antonio, TX) think she is pretty special too, and the painting has been selected to be included in the show. I love being in this show (4th year I think) because there are some really great painters with some great pieces of work, and the judge is always top notch (Daniel Greene this year) It is really an honor - and I am just thrilled!
