Hard to believe it's almost Christmas and another year has passed.
Sara, Koya and I hope you and yours are enjoying a wonderful holiday
season!
I feel very fortunate to have once again had my best year yet. My
painting sales were up, and I've worked hard at continuing my artistic
growth. I'm excited for the new year and new possibilities.
Since my last newsletter, I participated in the Zion Plein Air Event,
and it was their busiest show to date. My studio painting won a
purchase award (thank you Xanterra) which will become my second piece
in the permanent collection of the Zion Park Lodge. The former park
superintendent bought one of my plein air pieces; I think he owns three
of mine now (thanks Jock). I had one of the highest selling Quick-Draw
paintings, and my demo sold as well as several other paintings in the
show. To celebrate another successful event, I stayed in the area an
extra day to go mountain biking on Gooseberry Mesa with my friend and
artist Carl Ortman. The weather was unseasonably warm and we had a
great time.
I'm happy to announce a new gallery that has taken on my work, located
in Green Valley, Arizona (south of Tucson) called The Silver Hat
Gallery. The photo at the top shows part of my wall. Here is the link
  to the gallery's
website.
In addition to a new gallery, I've decided to do some outdoor art shows
in 2015. I applied to four shows and have been accepted into two of
them so far. I'll be at the Tubac Festival of the Arts, February 4 - 8,
and the Tempe Festival of the Arts, March 27 - 29, both in Arizona.
Please look for my booth if you're in the area during these events.
I'll announce more shows as they're confirmed.
Our next river trip will be May 12-20, 2016. This gives you more than a
year to plan for it. This time artist Bill Cramer will be joining me as
co-instructor. Bill is a talented and popular artist. Contact me for
details [email protected] or visit my River Trips
  page for details.
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.  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.
