New Juried show at the Holland Gallery in Scottsdale AZ

I was fortunate to have two watercolors juried into the Arizona Artist Alliance in pARTnership with the Holland Gallery in North Scottsdale. The gallery is just off the east Carefree Highway at 60th street. Great Art, exceptional Show, beautiful gallery space for the show.

Exhibition Dates are:  
Sept. 26th through Oct. 29th (10:00 am to 3:00 pm)


How do you like this piece of sculpture on the reception invitation?

My Award winning 38 x 30 watercolor, Blue Domes of Santorini was one of my juried paintings. This watercolor is a great show Piece.


I love this watercolor, now that it is finished. A little bit of a drafting challenge. Enjoy the painting.

My 2nd watercolor juried into this fall AAA show is the 29 x 22 watercolor of the historical La Posada Hollyhock Gardens, Winslow Arizona's old Santa Fe Railroad Hotel. Sedona photographer Paula Potter provided the resource image for this peak-a-boo glimpse into this beautiful garden.


As a once upon a time architect major, love the challenge this watercolor presented.

The Fall Season is here in All Its Glory.

May you enjoy a beautiful Fall Season, which also brings the start of the Fall Art Season. Tor the change in seasons I've changed my display at the Marketplace Cafe. 

As a Marketplace Cafe participating artist, I appreciate the opportunity to have a showcase for my work where collectors can discover my voice, connection with my passion to select that special piece as an addition to their private collection.





"African Lion, Old Warrior" a 26 x 22 framed original Oil Pastel Painting. I thought about this painting for about 30 years before I had time to address this 'Old Warrior" as an oil pastel painting. The story of his life is on his face as he oversees his domain in a peaceful pose of satisfaction.

The challenge was to design with values and negative space this magnificent "Charging Elephant." The use of these two elements as a focus made for an interesting drawing of this African Elephant. Reference image provided by a past president of Fort Worth Texas Coke Cola distribution.

"Charging Elephant" was entered in a BoldBrush Competition and was selected as one of the jury's favorite 15% of 860 entries. So, this pencil drawing was 1 of 129 of the jury's selection.
