"Castor and Pollux" (pastel, 32x32 inches)
My son graduates from high school this month. He'll be getting
(finally!) his driver's license, and a job (I hope,) before heading off
to Texas Tech at the end of August. I'm preparing to be a little bit
stressed in these transitional weeks toward the end of May while he
gets settled in his first job and starts driving on his own...

Aaak!

Cottonwood Art Festival
May 7-8, 2016 - Richardson, TX
... So I only have two events scheduled this month, early! Cottonwood
is an art festival I've heard many good things about, and I'm excited
to finally be juried in!
The painting above, my most recent large painting "Castor and Pollux",
will be with me at Cottonwood, as well as dozens of others just picked
up last week from my south Texas galleries where I had many paintings
displayed through the winter.
Last November was one of my 30-in-30 months, so I have a lot of
paintings left that have not yet seen an art fair!
"The Better to Hear You With, My Dear!" (pastel, 16x16 inches)

The paintings that survive the mad rush at Cottonwood will go with me
to Watters Creek in Allen, Texas the following weekend... ;) But don't
worry, I'll be painting new stuff meanwhile!
Watters Creek is a beautiful 52 acres resort-style master planned
community and a major shopping and dining destination for the area.
