Fireworks Continue in 2017
In 2016 now 2017, both years started with December's
activity
spilling over into January. This past December I was invited to enter
2 images for the "Black and White" Bauhaus Prairie Art
Gallery show.
Dave Banks, Photographer, Writer, Artist, Documentary Filmmaker and Photojournalist, was the show "Guest Juror."
Dave's photography is exhibited nationally and
internationally.
Banks was uniquely qualified to jury this show with 30
years
of the international documentary, news and reality program experience, with 13 Emmy Award nominations,
3 Emmys, 2 Internationals Monitor Awards and one
Addy Award for writing.
Mr. Banks awarded my "Spirit, Bald Eagle"
(16 x 20 Oil
Pastel Painting on mat board) Honorable Mention.
This, being the
first time to enter a Bauhaus Prairie Art Gallery Show,
was a rewarding
experience from a jurior with Banks reputation.

The 2nd entry was a 16 x 12 Pencil Drawing on
illustration board.
The original drawing
is 24 x 20" framed.

Personally, I enjoy the designed use of negative
space in
this drawing. The use of negative space is a hallmark signature
of
my black and white images.
How do you feel about a drawing that seems to be unfinished?
This is what I call "negative space." Love to hear your thoughts.
I find it a challenge to make "negative space work in a drawing.
The "Black and White" show will be
available for viewing
through January 15, 2017 via the following link:
During the past few years, my
focus was to create worldwide
exposure for Mary Dove Art. This is being
accomplished.
Here are a few of my efforts:
And, most recently Bauhaus Prairie
Art Gallery (See
Link Above)
to name a few opportunity with
more planned on the horizon.
With that said, last update: just received a call from
the
Northern Arizona Watercolor Society (NAWS) sharing that
my award-winning
22x30 watercolor, "New Mexico
Shifting White Sands Grass" is selected
to be used in the 2017 Spring Members Juried Show Marketing Plan.

One thing you can bank on is the fact one never knows
where or when the next potential opportunity will appear or come from. Maybe
it's just a phone call away.
Wishing you that ALL your 2017 dreams and potentials
manifest for the Highest and Best Good in this New Year.

See you soon. Stay Close.
Have laughter, ease, grace and joy in your day.
