I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

Oil Painters of America National Juried Show
WOW! Pontoon Boat has been accepted to the Oil Painters of America's National Juried Show! This is the toughest one and though I am now a signature member, this is only the 4th time one of my paintings has been accepted. I'm surprised and thrilled!
Amazing--a Signature Member feels lucky to be included! Art competitions always astonish. This is a lovely & timely piece. I'd just decided to do an 'all neutral'pastel w/ small spots of color. You've posted a perfect example. Thanks & I hope you win--MaryB
Thanks Mary...it's a show so don't expect any winnings. I think I tried for at least 15 years to get into the OPA shows and you need 3 acceptances in order to apply for signature status...which I finally got when I applied. This is only the 4th time I've gotten into their national show...so yeah, astonishing! Good luck with your pastel
