I entered artwork in the Small Works, Big Presents juried show at the White River Valley Museum again this year.  Out of 185 artworks entered, 74 were selected, three of which were mine - Beach Treasures, above, Frizzle Chicken, and Spotted Rex, below.

The show opened on November 16th and runs through December 18th.

 

Fair Entries

"Frizzle Chicken" - Colored Pencil 8" x 10"

I can't believe it's nearly Western Washington Fair time again. As I have for the past 11 years or so, I entered artwork which was juried in to the Fine Art Show. I drew "Frizzle Chicken" for this year's special category, birds. I struggled for HOURS trying to develop the shadows and nearly gave up. I do like the result so I'm glad I persisted.



"Jersey Wooley" - Colored Pencil 3" x 3"

 I entered these two miniatures which you may have seen on previous posts. I sold "Jersey Wooley" on the spot to one of the people who help out with the show every year when I dropped it off. My second miniature entry, "Venetian Window Kittens" won an Honorable Mention!
