raven

I was very happy to receive a Jack Richeson Award at The Connecticut Pastel Society's member show yesterday for my "Raven" painting.



This has been a goal of mine for the past 2 years.
The competition is fierce! I wasn't sure about entering a surreal painting since I haven't seen any surreal work in the member shows. I debated over entering a piece that I thought the judge would like (as if I'd know!) or one that I felt best represented my work. I went with the latter and I'm glad I did.
The show will be open from March 1 thru March 21 at Gallery 53, Colony Street, Meriden, Ct.
The reception took place yesterday and I saw some amazing work by other pastel painters.
This painting is SOLD
