I just returned from my best ever Zion event! The weather was really
nice this year, with the exception of the first day, which was the day
I had to do my demo. I had a great crowd despite the weather, 30 or so
people. We had a fun time talking art techniques and materials. I went
back the next day and repainted my demo, which later sold at the silent
auction.
My quick draw piece sold, my studio piece sold, and about 6 other
paintings as well, two of which received awards and will become part of
the Zion National Park collection. Whoohoo!
In the pre-show publicity, I was delighted to find my work featured in
three magazines.   Western Art Collector, October 2013, pg. 80,
Sojourns summer/fall 2013, pg. 6, and Western Art Collector, November
2013, pg. 129. See images here

CG7 - The GRAND CANYON SEVEN is a group of accomplished artists that
formed a couple of years ago. I was initially chosen as one of the
original members, but due to my loyalty to a Scottsdale gallery, I
bowed out. That gallery almost immediately broke our contract, but I
had lost my spot in the group. (no good deed goes unpunished) However,
one member of the group left this year due to conflicting obligations,
so I was invited to return! It's such a great group, I'm thrilled to be
back in and can't wait to show with my fellow Grand Canyon 7 artists.
Look for news on our upcoming show in April, 2014. 
Time flies, and it's already that time of year to be thinking of
holiday gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people on your list. The Metal
Prints have become increasingly popular, but it takes a couple of weeks
for me to get them, so don't wait too long to order.
NEW - I've added a secure shopping platform to my website to make
purchasing the prints quick and easy. Just click on any image on the
Prints Page  , select the size
and number you want, and follow the prompts - just like Amazon! If you
would like an image, or size you don't see, just email me and I'll try
to make it happen for you. [email protected]
I'll be teaching a one-day workshop in Casa Grande (between Phoenix and
Tucson) on Tuesday, December 3, from 9 - 5. This will be a condensed
version of my 'Six Steps to Better Painting' class. If you're
interested in this one-day intensive, feel free to contact me at
[email protected] or call 928-300-4576. Cost is $135 for the day. Get
started on your painting goals for next year early!
This class has only two spots left open as of this mailing.
As always, I have some great new pieces in the studio. Come on by and
see for yourself if you can make it to Jerome this winter.  If not,
many of my new landscapes are posted here on my website.
   Let me know if you see
something that might look great on your walls.
