A People's Choice Award, Book Shelf Art and More
I've been a busy little Art-Bee recently - painting up a storm - actually painting up the beach paintings. And then surprisingly, I won second place in the People's Choice Awards at Open Space Arts for the July-August Show. I also am the Blog Admin of not only this blog, by the Prince William Art Society's (PWAS) blog called "Artistry Spin". Here are some of the things I've been Art-Beeing, AKA Art Binging, on.
For Those That Serve Art Show at Open Space Arts
In July and August at the Open Space Arts Gallery in Woodbridge, Virginia, my painting "Washington DC Cherry Blossoms" just won Second Place as voted on by the gallery visitors. What a surprise! There was so many, many wonderful paintings for that show - that just ended Sunday, August 20.

The new show is called "Strut Your Stuff" which opens Wednesday, August 23, 2023 and will run until September 17. I have about 12-13 pieces in this show. As always, come by the gallery and enjoy ALL of the art.Book Shelf Art
As many of you know, I paint a lot of mini paintings. They are typically 3x4 mini canvases on about ANY subject and I sell them with the mini easel. I'm also painting a lot of 4x4 gallery wrapped small canvases that do not have a hanging mechanism (wire or hook) that I am now calling "Book Shelf Art". They are meant to be sitting in a book case or shelf (any nook or cranny), and enjoyed there, not taking up any wall space. Here are some samples of what I am currently working on.,
"Bottoms Up" 4x4 Acrylic on Canvas - a swan doing a dive
"Cygnet Fluff Baby" 4x4 Acrylic on Canvas - a baby swan
"Lighthouse 2 Mini" 3x4 Acrylic on Canvas with Easel
"Decoy 4 Head Turn Mini" 3x4 Acrylic on Canvas with Easel
"Decoy and Duck Mini" 3x4 Acrylic on Canvas with Easel"Sea The Turtle" 4x12 Acrylic on Canvas (wired for hanging also)
And there are so many more minis in my inventory with more on the way. Book Shelf Art makes great gifts too.Blog Writing Is Ever Ongoing
Here on my own blog of course, are found what I am up to - paintings, shows, occasionally thoughts (believe it or not, I occasionally have a thought), and/or places I go.
On either blog, your follow, your comments are always welcome and appreciated. The Blog Admin (me) must approve them before they show of course, to weed out the spammers.
