Back in May I entered my painting "Olives in a Colander" in the Artist's Magazine annual art competition.
I forgot about it until last week when I received a certificate in the mail informing me that the piece was one of the finalist paintings.
The title of the painting along with my name will be included in the printed December 09 edition of the magazine.
I don't know if the image will appear but I'm happy that I got in at all. It's a step in the direction I have chosen to go with my work.

Pastel Journal Article
I feel honored to have been featured in the Feb. 2013 Pastel Journal Magazine article titled
"Food for Thought". The article written by Anne Hevener focuses on three artists who paint still life in pastel. The artists are Lisa Ober, Karen Howard and myself.
It was fun going to Barnes and Noble to pick up my issue in the magazine section. I never imagined to find my work in an article. It's amazing what results hard work and diligence can provide.

I've seen your olive pieces and your olives look so wet and luscious (I love how you capture wetness and light in your food pieces) so I'm not surprised at all that your piece was a finalist. Your foods just make me want to reach out and grab something to take a bite out of! You're really good at translating that quality from reality to panel.
