I'm back in the studio in November, with a (mostly) wide-open
schedule... So I've set some new goals and I've got some new brags!

One Third in New Mexico!
I'm very pleased to say that my painting "Familiar", 8x10, has won the
Third Place award in the Pastel Society of New Mexico's 25th Annual
National Pastel Painting Exhibition, at Hispanic Arts Center, EXPO NM
in Albuquerque. The exhibit continues through

30-in-30 for November ... Again!
I've taken on the "30-paintings-in-30-days" challenge two more times
since September of 2014. I did it in November 2014 and again in
November last year.
November seems to be my best month for it, so I'm going to give it
another go!
I do have a couple of fairly big commissions to get done also this
month, so I'll just try my best and we'll see what happens...
