The last show of the Fall / Winter Art Season. . . . 

is the West Valley Arts Council Annual Invitational Show in Surprise, Arizona. The show started October 22^nd running through December 11^th. The Arts Council has a wonderful Civic Center Gallery which enhances the display of Fine Art. I’m fortunate to be awarded 1^st place again this years. How lucky can one be to receive 1^st place two years in a row in a very competitive show.

This year 2015, I was invited to show my choice of two paintings. In 2014 I was juried into the show. The Arts Council has an interesting show formula: 20 artists are invited to show two works each of their choice. Then, 20 additional artists had one piece juried into the show; a total of 60 paintings. My 30x38 watercolor “Dry Beaver Creek Sycamore” took 1^st place this year.

My 2^nd show entry was “Austin Back Country” another 30 x 38 watercolor.

In 2014,  the juried part of this Arts Council Invitational show, my Texas High Country Overlook 36x24 acrylic painting on canvas, also won a 1^st place award. Call it luck or talent to have a 1^st place in consecutive years. This is a highly competitive show pulling artists from the greater Phoenix area. The West Valley Arts Council is building a reputation of a show to either be invited too or be juried into.
